{"product_id":"tom-lehrer-collection-1953-60-2-cd","title":"Tom Lehrer - Collection 1953-60 [2 CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1950s saw the emergence of a new and more adventurous strand of political and social satire evidenced in books and newspapers, on stage and on radio, and especially on the burgeoning new medium of TV, but it also found it's expression in music, and one of the most individual and celebrated musical satirists of the time was Tom Lehrer. A mathematician and academic by profession, he recorded a 10\" LP of his first collection of songs in 1953 \"Songs Of Tom Lehrer\", which gradually brought him to public attention, following it several years later in 1959 with a 'Live' LP of new material \"An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer\" which was also recorded in a studio environment that year as \"More of Tom Lehrer\". In 1960 a further 'live' album including material from his first album was released as \"Tom Lehrer Revisited\", the US version comprising a side recorded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a side recorded in Australia. The Decca UK release comprised the same songs drawn entirely from the MIT concert. This 2-CD collection comprises the complete content of all four LPs, using the Decca UK version of the last of those. It's a comprehensive and thoroughly entertaining anthology of his best-known repertoire with studio and 'live' versions of his hilariously irreverent and off-the-wall compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight Fiercely, Harvard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Old Dope Peddler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Prepared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wild West Is Where I Want To Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Go Back To Dixie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLobachevsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Irish Ballad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hunting Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Home Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You Are Old And Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hold Your Hand In Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wiener Schnitzel Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoisoning Pigeons In The Park (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright College Days (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Christmas Carol (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Elements (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOedipus Rex (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Old Mexico (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClementine (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe\u0026amp;#39;s My Girl (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Masochism Tango (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Will All Go Together When We Go (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoisoning Pigeons In The Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright College Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Christmas Carol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOedipus Rex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Old Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClementine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe\u0026amp;#39;s My Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Masochism Tango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Will All Go Together When We Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Go Back To Dixie (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wild West Is Where I Want To Be (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Old Dope Peddler (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight Fiercely, Harvard (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLobachevsky (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Irish Ballad (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hunting Song (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Home Town (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You Are Old And Grey (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wiener Schnitzel Waltz (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hold Your Hand In Mine (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Prepared (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046314927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Acrobat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48074008756324,"sku":"33878","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2777\/4052\/files\/3035054.jpg?v=1773696713","url":"https:\/\/latchkeyrecords.com\/products\/tom-lehrer-collection-1953-60-2-cd","provider":"Latchkey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
