Releases

The original album was only issued on cassette and record featuring a picture of the trio in the park and Elephant on the set of a television. But when Drive Entertainment began re-releasing the trio's albums, they changed the cover, featuring only Elephant. The 1986 release came with a color picture fold-out that had words to all the songs.

Originally the title was Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show, but when it was re-packed and re-released in 1993 under Elephant Records, the name was changed to The Elephant Show Volume 1 and then again in 1994, under Drive Entertainment, they cut out Volume 1 and the title became just The Elephant Show.
