The Muppet Alphabet Album
1971 studio album by Sesame Street
The Muppet Alphabet Album is a Sesame Street learning album based on the children's television series. It was first released in 1971 by Columbia,[1][2] then reissued in 1976,[1][3] and by Golden Music in 1990,[4] and by Sony Wonder in 1996, and by Koch Records in 2008. Sony Wonder and Koch Records's reissues included Elmo singing a version of the song, "ABC-DEF-GHI", and called it "Sing the Alphabet". The album features one song for each letter in the alphabet, performed by a variety of Sesame Street characters. Each of the songs uses a different musical style.
Jim Henson, one of the album's producers,[1] included a short description of the project on the album jacket of the initial release: "The idea is very simple โ a little song or skit about each of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet..". A short history of the production process was later posted to a posthumous blog representing his estate.[1][5][6]
