Songs For Swingin' Sellers

Digitally re-mastered edition of this 1959 album from the British comedian/actor. Whilst the title was no doubt inspired by Frank Sinatra, there are very few songs on this album. Instead, we are treated to virtually the full gamut of Peter Sellers' comic talents; the public school headmaster welcoming a would-be student and his father, the Lonnie Donegan lampoon of Lenny Goonegan, the wonderful sketch with Irene Handl; virtually every track is something of a gem. More importantly, whilst much of the Goons material now sounds dated, Songs for Swingin' Sellers sounds as fresh and funny now as it did when originally released. All praise to Peter and producer George Martin for that. Hallmark. 2010.
