Notes

Recorded live at the Fortune Theatre, London, 21st February 1957.

The pitch of the piano throughout the mono recording suggests that it runs at a slightly fast pitch.

The 1960 Stereo release Parlophone PCS 3001 has one song missing but, most of all, brings a different recording, from a 1959 show.

At the Drop of a Hat is a musical revue by Flanders and Swann, described by them as an after-dinner farrago. In the show, they both sang on a nearly bare stage, accompanied by Swann on the piano. After a long London run the show played in the US, Switzerland, and on tour in Britain. In this 1959 recording, Michael Flanders 1922-1975 and Donald Swann 1923-1994 perform three skits from their musical farrago, At The Drop Of A Hat.

The Reluctant Cannibal. The British duo, properly known as Michael Flanders & Donald Swann, was composed of the actor and singer Michael Flanders and the composer, pianist and linguist Donald Swann, who collaborated in writing and performing comic songs. Flanders and Swann's songs are characterised by wit, gentle satire, complex rhyming schemes, and memorable choruses. They wrote over eighty comic songs together. Between 1956 and 1967 they performed some of their songs in their long-running two-man revues At the Drop of a Hat and At the Drop of Another Hat. Both revues were recorded in concert, as read more.

A perfect evening of British cocktail piano wit, this live performance at the Fortune Theatre in London should delight any fan of such classic BBC radio shows as My Word and My Music. A Gnu and Hippopotamus both became justly famous among adults and children alike, particularly for the former's punning malapropisms: I'm a G-nu How do you doYou really ought to K-now W-ho's W-ho
