Lehrer's witty, acerbic observations unfold over an intimate acoustic setup, blending clever lyricism with a small ensemble’s straightforward sound. Tracks like \"The Old Dope Peddler\" and \"Fight Fiercely Harvard\" showcase his knack for twisting humor and intellect into songs that invite more than casual listening. It's no surprise this collection found a place in the National Recording Registry, reflecting its lasting cultural imprint beyond mere novelty. This Winchester reissue offers a chance to enjoy Lehrer's pioneering work on vinyl, with a condition graded \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG\u003c\/a\u003e, indicating some surface wear and potential background noise but remaining fully playable. The format and pressing details here provide a practical way to experience the album’s original charm without fussing over collector minutiae. After all, Tom Lehrer’s humor is best served without static—though a little scratchiness might underscore the era’s own imperfections as much as the record’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTom Lehrer - Songs By Tom Lehrer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Go Back To Dixie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Old Dope Peddler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You Are Old And Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wild West Is Where I Want To Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight Fiercely Harvard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLobachevsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Irish Ballad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hunting Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Home Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wiener Schnitzel Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hold Your Hand In Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Prepared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_01A9pABfdU\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7fo5hBz1iEfafufshl2X5y\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG \/ VG \/ REISSUE · Winchester","offer_id":67941079122236,"sku":"DEN00001485","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/Ni0yNTAwLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1792872754","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/tom-lehrer-songs-by-tom-lehrer-lp-102426-den00001485","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
