 Back to me:

This was one of the first records I ever owned, and I listened to it a lot.  I liked most of the songs, and somehow, missed the part about "other jungle favorites" for years.  Kids, amirite?  I still love the first three songs, and 6 and 8 as well.  The others are OK, though I never cared for "Trust in Me".
