Releases
Lobster Quadrille is The Simon Sisters' third and final studio album, their first for Columbia Records. It was released in 1969 as Columbia CC 24506 with a blue label. The album originally came packaged with a hard-cover illustrated book containing all the poems. It was re-released without the book as Columbia CR 21525 with a red label.
The album was reissued in 1973 to capitalize on Carly Simon's success as a solo artist, under the title Lucy & Carly – The Simon Sisters Sing for Children as Columbia CR 21539. For this edition, additional instrumentation was added to the original album to give it a more pop-oriented sound.[2] It also has a new cover featuring a photo of the sisters.
In 2008, Shout! Factory released the album on CD, under the title Carly & Lucy Simon Sing Songs for Children. [3] Although the disc's packaging uses the illustration from the album's original cover, the CD contains the 1973 version of the album.
