Description

Tom Lehrer- Songs by Tom Lehrer

Lehrer Records, 1953

10-inch LP, catalog TLP-1

Signed on front cover, not personalized

Original 1953 Tom Lehrer's 10" debut LP, self-released on his own label. This is the earliest commercial format of Songs by Tom Lehrer issued before the later 12" re-recordings and re-pressings. Signature is on the front cover in the white space beneath the printed title-consistent with period signatures from his early performing years.

Vinyl: (VG) Listened to entire LP. Plays with constant light ticks throughout and a few pops. No skips or distortions. Fully listenable.

Jacket: (VG) 1" tear on jacket edge. Hardly visible when LP sleeved. Moderate dirt smudges front and back. A couple fingerprints on lower right front. General handling wear. Spine intact. Labels: Clean, no writing. New inner sleeve.

A scarce signed example of Lehrer's first release, produced and distributed independently while he was still at Harvard. Early signed copies of the 10" issue are far less common than later reissues, and remain the preferred format for collectors who focus on original self-published material.
