Released in association with Muppet Music, the Fraggle Rock album was produced by Philip Balsam and Don Gillis. This was the first Fraggle Rock LP, and featured songs from the first season. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children, but lost to Where the Sidewalk Ends. The album was reissued in 1987 by Columbia Records, with one edit—the song "Dum of a Son of a Gun", sung by Pa and Junior Gorg, was not included in the re-release. The Columbia reissue of this album (and the Perfect Harmony album reissue), featured the album cover enclosed with a bright yellow frame.
