Tom Lehrer: Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer. Rhino Records re-releases most of the work from the ’50’s and ’60’s (except for his highest-charting album, That Was the Year That Was) of this perverse and reclusive mathematician-turned-songster and ’60’s cult figure. Here are the liner notes. And here is a realaudio of “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park”. Lehrer has painfully consented to several high-profile interviews, like this one in the Washington Post, in conjunction with the release, in contrast to much of the intervening decades when he was content to cultivate the rumor that he was dead.
