The Genius Of Peter Sellers: Songs, Sketches And Caricatures

The Genius Of Peter Sellers: Songs, Sketches And Caricatures

Long before he became Dr Strangelove or Inspector Clouseau, Peter Sellers was a Goon and an up-and-coming radio & TV comedian and actor.

He was also an occasional - and surprisingly successful - recording artist, registering hit records at levels which flew directly in the face of the UK's record industry's perceived wisdom at that time.

This 20-track compilation concentrates on Peter's solo recordings (you will find no Goonery herein!), drawn from his various 45s, EPs and LPs, between 1953 and 1962.
