About the so-called deluxe edition:
Since 1953, "Songs By Tom Lehrer" has corrupted innocent youths, brought degenerates and ne'er-do-wells together, and provided a soundtrack to the drab, wretched lives of millions of others. Now, we at VinylHumor are pleased to announce we will be bringing this satirical masterpiece back on vinyl, but in a manner we feel this and our other upcoming titles deserve!
"SONGS BY TOM LEHRER" Vinyl Deluxe Edition Includes:
The original 1953 album, remastered from the original master tape by Jeff Morris
Mastered for vinyl by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio
Includes "The Physical Revue" (Tom's earliest known recording from 1951) fully restored, complete and uncut for the first time ever (and a lot less noisy!)
Beautiful new restoration of Janine Sterner's iconic cover art
Includes an 11" x 11" 12 page collector's booklet featuring new liner notes, essays, photos, lyrics, and more
Original liner notes and album jacket layout faithfully reproduced exactly as the 10" release for authenticity
Encased in a gatefold jacket using the "tip-on" style of jacket printing (faithful to the way jackets were printed in the 1950's to the late 60's/early 70's
Records pressed on heavy gauge 180 gram vinyl with original center labels graphics and TransRadio logo (including the original TR 740 catalog number, down to the oddball "TR 740B-2" on side 2)
SPECIAL NOTE: At the request of both Mr. Jeff Morris, and Mr. Tom Lehrer, the total dollar amount that, years ago, would have originally gone to Tom as a royalty check will be donated to The Children's Television Workshop.
Additional materials inside the gatefold jacket and booklet not shown due to them still undergoing revision...and to keep the surprise!
Pre-Orders are being taken until November 1, 2025. Reserve your copy now by clicking the Kickstarter logo below!
About spreading the word:
Because this can best be described as a grass roots type project, we are depending largely on word of mouth to get the news of this project to all Tom Lehrer fans. Also, while the initial plan is to see if we can obtain pre-orders for at least 500 units of the album, the more pre-orders that roll in, the more we will press and the more the cost of printing and pressing goes down. This in turn allows us to fund (partially, if not completely) our next Tom Lehrer vinyl reissue, which will be a 2 Lp Deluxe Edition of "More of Tom Lehrer." Spreading the word and receiving more pre-orders to press is not about making money. This is about restoring, preserving and curating classic comedic works for the fans, and to show our respects to the material and the artists who created it by keeping everything alive and in pristine condition for posterity.
Whether you order a copy or two, or just spread the word to others so they can order one and spread the word, we at VinylHumor Records are incredibly grateful and are happy to return the favor by offering the best possible versions of the most hilarious recordings of all time...with extras.
