''The Simon Sisters Sing The Lobster Quadrille and Other Songs for Children'' is the third and final studio album by
the Simon Sisters, released by
Columbia Records, in 1969.
The album features musical settings of classic children's poetry.
Releases
''Lobster Quadrille'' was released as Columbia CC 24506 with a blue label, and it was their first release for
Columbia Records. The album originally came packaged with a hardcover 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. 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''.
Although the disc's packaging uses the illustration from the album's original cover, the CD contains the 1973 version of the album.
