[78-L] Tom Lehrer was Two Singers who cause

[David Lennick]

So my "Censorship" speech STILL isn't listed in the discography. It exists as a 
pressing..7-inch 33RPM, Australian EMI, mx 7XS 7268/9, recorded in Adelaide. I 
have a tape transfer. No idea what became of the pressing loaned to me by 
someone no longer with us.

That aside, if the Reprise "Evening Wasted" was in fake stereo, it had me 
fooled for decades.

It took me years to find "Revisited" on TL 201. I had a tape transfer from a 
beat-up library copy which I tossed when the English Decca turned up as an 
import, and I didn't know about the difference for many years..then a good copy 
of TL 201 turned up for $5 on an online list a few years ago.
