Flanders and Swann 

Last Edited: 21-Mar-2016 A Global British Comedy Collaborative document. Edited by John Lucas

A Special "Thank You" To Sandy Finlayson for major help on this page!

A Few Words of Explanation: The principal works of Flanders and Swann (At the Drop of a Hat, At the Drop of Another Hat, Tried by the Centre Court, The Bestiary) exist in two or three forms:
1.    UK recorded and manufactured EMI LPs, roughly contemporaneous with the original shows.
2.    UK recorded but US manufactured Angel LPs, generally sold during and after the American tours some years later.
3.    UK remastered EMI CDs, taken from a variety of sources and adding additional previously unreleased songs, published in the 1990s. Thus, The Complete Flanders and Swann is really four LPs on three CDs with some added content.

There are several approaches that one could take to cataloguing and digitizing this material. I have chosen to evaluate each song independently, grouping songs by the original packaging (i.e., four LPs) rather than the ordering and grouping represented on the CDs. All variants of a song performed by Flanders and Swann are presented together, instead of considering each LP or CD as a separate entire work.

Chronological ordering is difficult in the absence of a scholarly study of remaining F&S manuscripts. Much of the music was not even written down until after Flanders’ death. “The Hippopotamus Song” is probably the most famous and is often thought of belonging to the “Bestiary” volume. It is not. It is one of the earliest of all of their songs, performed long before the initial performances of At the Drop of a Hat, but included in that show. I am unaware of Tried by the Centre Court being issued in the U.S. Rather, some of its songs appeared in U.S. versions of “Hat” and “Another Hat.” The packaging of the much later CDs further confuses what songs should belong to what collection.

To summarize, each song is listed once in the main listings with all F&S performances, regardless of packaging. Performances by other people are listed separately.
