Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show Record is the seventh album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in 1986. The album features songs from Seasons 1 and 2 what would become their hit TV series "Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show".
Sharon, Lois & Bram are a Canadian music group founded in Toronto, Ontario, 1978. The group's original lineup consisted of Sharon Hampson, Lois Ada Lilienstein, and Bramwell "Bram" Morrison.
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.
