This site's first rip isn't precisely a rip per se, but a compendium of rips. "Homenaje a los niños" (1979) is a promotional vynil record that was originally given away by various radio stations as rewards for winning contests and quizes. The copy I own was earned by my aunt at some radio station called  Difusora Pantera during the late 70's. A decade later, it became one of my childhood favorite albums.

The tracklist includes various children songs and themes famous around that time. There's a 3-Discs version which shares the same tracklist although interspersed with various fairytales.    

Tracklist

A1 Piero (7) Sinfonía En "La" Mar
A2 Cia. Infantil De T.V.* Doña Blanca
A3 Heidi (14) Pedro Y Yo = ぺたrと わたし
A4 Cri-Cri Caminito De La Escuela
A5 El Duende Bubulín Vamos De Paseo
A6 Cri-Cri La Patita
B1 Heidi (14) Dime Abuelito = 教えて
B2 Cia. Infantil De T.V.* A La Víbora De La Mar
B3 Cri-Cri La Marcha De Las Letras
B4 Piero (7) El Trenecito Del Oeste
B5 Cia. Infantil De T.V.* Naranja Dulce
B6 El Duende Bubulín Papo El Zapato

As this is a compilation, instead of capturing my crackly vynil, I searched for the best versions of each track that I could find. Ended up gathering a few CD's and a few web rips. The sources are:

A1 y B4 (Piero) 
Taken from the first CD edition of Sinfonía En "La" Mar, As the digital version is slightly louder.
A2 , B2 y B5 (CIT)
Taken from the digital edition, as I couldn't find a CD. I actually own this Vynil but It's scratchy as well.
A3 y B1 (Heidi)
Themes from Heidi's Acclaimed Latin Soundtrack. I used the stereo versions. There's a chilean CD that contains an amazing remaster of these songs, although, sadly, they only last for a couple of seconds (!), as it's seemlingly based on the short, Non-LP version. There's no known full version of these remasters :c.
These rips seem to be lossy (peaking at ~17k), I'll update the post if I upgrade them.
A4, A6 y B3 (Cri-Cri)
Although I own various releases containing these tracks, i found this early release of the 5 CD's songs and tales collection has the best dynamics. There are some so calles "remasters"  of which I only perceived increased loudness.
A5 y B6 (Duende Bubulín)
Taken from the digital edition, as I couldn't find a CD with these versions. Noise and dynamics are good enough. You can tell the arrangements were done with lots of care.

Fun Fact: Although this disc has a publishign date of 1979, the written congratulations to my aunt for winning the contest are dated 1978 (this causes no incongruences with any track). So, this specific station started the giveaways earlier thatn they were told to.
