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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight Fiercely Harvard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Old Dope Peddler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Be Prepared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Go Back to Dixie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lobachevsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Irish Ballad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Hunting Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Home Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When You Are Old and Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Hold Your Hand in Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poisoning Pigeons in the Park (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bright College Days (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Christmas Carol (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Elements (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oedipus Rex (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In Old Mexico (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Clementine (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She's My Girl (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Masochism Tango (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We Will All Go Together When We Go (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poisoning Pigeons in the Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bright College Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Christmas Carol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oedipus Rex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In Old Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Clementine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She's My Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Masochism Tango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We Will All Go Together When We Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Go Back to Dixie (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Old Dope Peddler (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fight Fiercely Harvard (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lobachevsky (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Irish Ballad (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Hunting Song (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Home Town (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When You Are Old and Grey (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Hold Your Hand in Mine (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Be Prepared (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522363396370,"sku":"824046314927","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/tom-lehrer-collection-1953-60-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
