The Tom Lehrer Collection

A totally fabulous release is due on April 13 (2010) in the United States. It's The Tom Lehrer Collection, containing a new CD AND a DVD with the performance published on "the wisdom channel" and with more video bonus tracks to boot. You'll get that link several times on this page, because this is a release you've never seen before: Tom Lehrer -- in his prime -- performing in front of three Norwegian TV-cameras, and, finally, in good quality. You'll get a few chances to click a link and buy that collection and the first chance is HERE.

The Tom Lehrer status quo

March/April 2010: Tom Lehrer is a retired mathematician and lecturer, and also a former comedian, satirist and singer/songwriter. He was born in 1928. Lehrer is now too old to deal with fans, but he appreciates people who enjoy his old comedy songs and buy his DVD's, albums or mp3's HERE..
