Well after that comment and @seakayaker playing the album, I couldn’t let it go unpurchased.
Big fan of Boz but didn’t have this one. Well done thank you - you are spot on.

Tom Lehrer - L!ve That Was The YearThat Was - Tidal 16/44
A few days ago a friend sent me a link to a live version of The Vatican Rag, and it’s been an earworm since then. So I’m (hopefully) exorcising it with this different live recording. Mid-‘60s satirical songs from an extremely clever and witty writer. I think this was his last set of songs before going back to his day job as Maths professor.
