Happy Birthday is the ninth album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in 1988. The album was released in honor of Sharon, Lois & Bram's 10th Anniversary, hence the "birthday" theme.

Releases

The original title was "Happy Birthday" for the first editions published under Elephant Records & A&M Records. They are available on CD, Cassette, and Record. This was the last album of Sharon, Lois & Bram's to be available on record.

In 1996, Elephant Record re-released the album under the title "Elephant Party". The cover had a white background and featured a cartoon Elephant bursting out of a birthday present with two shots of Sharon, Lois & Bram jumping in surprise. This edition added the song "Ha-Ha, This-A-Way", but didn't have "Puff the Magic Dragon".

Then again in 1996, Drive Entertainment released the album in the United States under the title "Elephant Party" as well, but the cover was changed to a yellow background featuring Sharon, Lois & Bram and Elephant surrounded by balloons. It came with a pin-the-tail on the elephant game and a fold-out with lyrics to most of the songs. This edition also cut out several songs from the original recording.

At one point, there was to be a re-release of Happy Birthday titled "The Elephant Party" featuring the same album jacket as the Happy Birthday recording, but for some reason the idea didn't get past the planning stages.
