RAYM0ND SC0TT - S00TH1NG S0UNDS F0R BABY VOL. 1 (1962)

Accompanied by a booklet from the Gesell Institute of Child Development, Inc., this glorious record was on the cusp of the child-rearing self-help movement. Designed for infants from 1-6 months of age, the simple electronic repetitions may indeed help to produce somnolence in some kids or adults. It may also seem fairly jarring to those who prefer to relax their precious bundles of joy with whale sounds (particularly "Nursery Rhyme" with its incessant digital alarm-clock-sounding chime). At any rate, this stands as one of the first recordings designed specifically with the production of sleep in mind. A ground-breaking recording.
