1966 Re-recording
In 1966, following the success of That Was the Year That Was, Reprise Records reissued several of Lehrer's previous LPs, but the company was dissatisfied with the technical quality of the original Songs album and persuaded Lehrer to make a new stereo recording of the album. However, in an attempt to make the songs more up to date, Lehrer made some noticeable changes in the lyrics that he later regretted and discarded. This version of the album has not been reissued on CD.
The Reprise version of the album featured a cartoon cover designed by Eric Martin, who also designed the That Was The Year That Was cover.
