The special quad-fold record sleeve

Sesame Street LIVE! is a live album featuring the Sesame Street cast and Muppets performing to an audience of children. It was recorded at three live concerts held on March 15 and 16, 1973 with a total of nearly 1,000 day care center children from the New York area.[1]

The first edition of the album featured a unique package design that included a quad-fold record sleeve. The front of the sleeve contained a cut-out of Big Bird standing next to the Sesame Street lightpost which, when opened, would fold over and create a new scene with the picture on the other side. The packaging also included a large poster, created by Terry Anderson, featuring the lyrics to all of the songs, as well as cartoon drawings of the characters.

This album reached #211 on Billboard's Bubbling Under the Top LPs chart. It won a Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children.

In 1976, this album was released on a set of consecutively numbered 45's. A book of sheet music of songs from the album was available separately. In 1977, the album was reissued as Concert: On Stage-Live!.
