Nobody mixed comedy and music like Michael Flanders and Donald Swann, Tom Lehrer and Victor Borge. With subjects ranging from Britain’s lost railway lines to the English weather, Flanders and Swann wrote and sang a rich comic soundtrack to the 50s and 60s. The owlish piano-playing Tom Lehrer was their transatlantic counterpart - a Harvard professor who wrote spiky satirical songs in his spare time. Completing the trio is the incomparable Victor Borge - the original ‘clown prince of Denmark’.   Now for the first time we bring you these three timeless acts together in one unique collection.
