Light In the Attic’s This Record Belongs To__________ is the antidote to your standard kids’ compilations. You won’t find boy bands, princesses, or purple dinosaurs here. Instead, we have Carole King, Jerry Garcia, Harry Nilsson, The Pointer Sisters, Donovan–and Kermit The Frog.
This record, compiled and sequenced by DJ and friend with the most trustworthy set of ears Zach Cowie, is dear to our hearts here at Third Man, as this collection of songs (previously passed around as a gift between friends) was the soundtrack of the first year or life for many TMR offspring. These kiddos now all have undeniably excellent taste in tunes. Trust us. The record is accompanied by an original, full-color storybook (in which five forest pals discover the beauty of vinyl records) with illustrations by acclaimed artist Jess Rotter.
Inspired by the classic Little Golden Books Series and Sesame Street’s In Harmony albums, This Record Belongs To ______ stems from a love of music, reading, and a passion for teaching future generations the interactive experience of holding an album in your hands, putting needle to groove, and immersing yourself in the pages of a record’s sleeve as the music plays.
How can you fully introduce your children to the magic of vinyl records without letting them interact with the record player a bit themselves? Third Man Records realizes your high end turntable might not be kid-friendly, so we are co-releasing a portable, suitcase record player just for the smalls!
The new Third Man Records Children’s Turntable is made by Jensen, is compact and portable, and features images of Manny, the Third Man mascot. The three-speed turntable with built-in speakers has a USB port for converting vinyl records to digital, an automatic return tone arm, and is as lightweight as a portable turntable can be. Included with the turntable is a Manny t-shirt and sticker.
This Record Belongs To __________ and the Third Man Records Children’s Turntable, sold as a bundle, are available for pre-order today and in stores on November 6th.

Got very frustrated a few weeks ago trying to rip the Time-Life Country & Western Classics Hank Williams collection because the ripping software couldn’t pick it up through my Audio-Technica turntable (newer records worked just fine, but not the older set of records). Sat down tonight with this little player and ripped those records without a hitch. Manny 1, Audio-Technica 0. I am probably an audiophile’s nightmare but I don’t care ‘cause now I’ve got digital Hank for listening in the car. And I love this set. Thank you, Third Man.
Will these ship to Europe? is there a Europe converter that will work? I want to send this to my niece and nephew overseas!
the smartness and sweetness of this is a genuinely touching contribution from the third man community to the rest of the world… the kid in me says Yeeeeaaayyyyyy!!!! and it makes me wish my little friends and i could enjoy it together… thanks guys… its lovely and a quality addition to the store now all we need is an animated Manny doing the Man Dance … these holidays are going to be fun!
What an album— I do hope it comes up for sale separately someday, as Tamora mentioned. This package is too cute, though. I’ll keep my fingers crossed over the two turntables we’re fortunate enough to have that we can buy the record soon. X
Oh no! I misunderstood! I thought the bundle came with a colored vinyl :( They are all sold out now. Bummer.
If I preorder the split color LP bundle from LITA, will the turntable still come with the manny t-shirt and sticker?
This is amazing!
Great stuff! I like all the extra turntable features! This is a great starter kit!
The Xmas shopping is about to commence! Just hope my little 4year old monkey won’t destroy the turntable…
Light in the Attic is my second favourite record company !!! So great to see you both working together.
For all: have a look at their Native American compilation they issue last year !! the packaging is just great but the content !!!!!! JUST SUPERB !!!!!
Long Live those 2 companies !!!!
This is so cool! You have sent me back in time to my childhood, reminiscing about playing my 45’s for hours on end, on a tiny little player in my bedroom. Thanks for the memories, TMR!
