Tom Lehrer is completely brilliant, and these songs that kept my parents laughing in the 1950s are just as relevant and entertaining today. The man is a wonderful musician and the musical jokes are as clever as the verbal ones. This CD is also excellent value with 23 of his finest songs for just £6.97. There's not a single duffer amongst them, which works out at a miniscule 30p per track. Unmatchable for laughs and value.

this is an excellent album - it had me laughing out loud and i'm still discovering new funny bits as i listen to it again. obviously the elements song is a must for any science teacher, which is why i bought the cd, but there's much more to it than just that song. the only odd thing is the repeated songs on the second half. but which album should i get next?

To be honest the studio versions of the classic songs such as Poisoning Pigeons.. etc do not stand up well in comparison to the live versions and are not really necessary. One of the stregths of the live Tom Lehrer is his ability to work the audience; his comedic timing is just brilliant. The That Was The Year That Was songs are just brilliant! So if you are on a tighter budget then buy Tom Lehrer in Concert (which contains his two classic albums) and That Was The Year That Was for the essential Tom Lehrer. Who would have thought that topical satire, such as Send the Marines, could remain topical 40 years later? Pure genius!

I have one gripe concerning this CD: it is at full price, though the recordings are 40 years old, and it only plays for 37 minutes. Apart from that, it is a delight and it was a favourite of Otto Klemperer's, no less. He especially loved "Alma", about the loves of Gustav Mahler's wife.

When I first heard the album on tape (via vinyl) I was all of about 12 and didn't understand some of the jokes. But looking back some of these jokes now make sense. He really was years and years and years ahead of his time. No, I'm not exaggerating, I really do mean it. His comedy mixed and intersperced with great words making for amusement rather full blown comedy (although some of it is down to personal taste.) Having said that I would recommend this album along with 'That was the Year that was' and 'Revisited' because they're sio absolutely hilarious in places and genuis right the way through from start to finish. Tom Lehrer is a true genius combining his style-mixed Music and great words, and rerally is years and years and years ahead of his time. ... Read More:

Superbe humour.
The songs are catchy and his stories in between are very funny. Sometimes references stuff from back then, but nothing wikipedia can't help you with.
