Playtime and Little Tots records

Ryan Barna Collection

This discography covers seven-inch Little Pal, Pal Picture Player, Playtime, and Little Tots' Nursery Tunes records. These were recorded by the Plaza Music Company. By the time Fields' recordings on Little Tots' were released, the records were being sold in (optional) albums containing picture-and-verse cards, and four records. The albums in which Fields' Little Tots' records were assigned to are noted. His Playtime records continued to be sold into the 1940s.
