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. ==Track listing==
