This one's for Skot: Children's record producer Arthur Shimkin dies

A long history at Little Golden Records, then Sesame Street Records. From the obit:

“Our audience is one runny-nosed kid who is sitting on the floor,” Mr. Shimkin said in a 1961 interview. “He can’t go to school and he can’t watch TV because there’s nothing on, so he turns on a record. I want to introduce him to literature, history, music.”
