Yes, this is the discography I've been referring to for many years, and 
I see a lot of new updates throughout it.  It would be interesting to 
find out from you what the stereo is like and how it compares with the 
Reprise fake stereo version.  The discography also notes that Lehrer 
edited some of the applause on the Reprise version of the mono master 
tape which is why the Reprise stereo LP and early CDs are fake stereo 
and that the current version of the CD is back to the mono--at his 
insistance.  More of Tom Lehrer was also issued in stereo only on Lehrer 
LPs.  Wonder what it sounds like.
