Ladybird Cassette's
Recorded 1985-1987 by Pickwick Tell-a-Tale and produced in assosiation with Ladybird books all the Ladybird Books (Apart from book.15) where acompanied by a series of Cassettes narrated by Ringo Starr.

Some of the came with the books, some where sold alone, and would feature a whistle noise to turn the page if following the book.

Thomas's Christmas Party and Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree would have the same story but one side would have the whistle noise, while the other was just narration.

If the cassettes had three stories the second story would be cut in half with the first half on side one, and the other half on side two.
