THE REMAINS OF TOM LEHRER 3 CD SET
The Remains of Tom Lehrer 3 CD box set collects 75 tracks spanning 1953-1999, just about everything the reclusive master of social and political satire has ever recorded!
Disc 1 (Studio Recordings With Piano) features Lehrer's 1953 debut album Songs By Tom Lehrer (the '50s' biggest-selling humorous music album); More Of Tom Lehrer, from 1959; his October 1996 version of "I Got It From Agnes"; and the previously unreleased "That's mathematics" (from '93).
Disc 2 (Live Performances) draws from his legendary 1959 concerts at Harvard and MIT.
Disc 3 (More Live Performances + Studio Recordings With Orchestra) gathers tracks from his 1965 album That Was The Year That Was; four rare orchestrated versions cut in January 1960 with conductor Richard Hayman; tracks from PBS' The Electric Company from 1990; and four newly recorded cuts including "(I'm Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica."
Coproduced by Lehrer and Dr. Demento.
