Seeking: Harry Lauder music album

From: Folk Form # 1

I want to get a Harry Lauder album that doesnt have any of his embarrassing spoken parts on it. I just want the music.

Can anyone help?

Try this I don't know what talking if any there is on it. This site lists one other CD, which has been digitally remastered.

Here's a very nice video of Andy Stewart performing Harry Lauder songs:

Not sure why you find his talking interludes embarrassing? That was the fashion of the day, part of his act...we should not judge past performances by current standards!
Perhaps you should seek the song and tunebooks?

And you know what else is odd?
A thread is at the Mudcat forum,
within the past twelve months if memory serves,
from somebody with the opposite problem.

Remember? Somebody, I forget who,
really really wanted to locate that particular recording of
"I Love a Lassie" which is so notorious that there are passages in
English-language fiction -- for example, P. G. Wodehouse --
that celebrate the moment in which Harry Lauder speaks the lines:

"This is herrrrr       --

naw, it's a RABBIT."

And a bunch of us faithful Mudcat member truffle-hunters
went digging and snuffling about,
and we found recording after recording of
Harry Lauder singing "I Love a Lassie"
but we could not locate, try as we might,
a digital file online
with that famous spoken line.

Well, Folk Form #1 hasn't posted at Mudcat for almost a decade, so that's what happen to those who don't like Harry Lauder's monologues. I always thought of Lauder's shtik as a monologue punctuated by songs - with the monologue being the more interesting part.

Was it a fact that Sir Harry lost a son in WW1 ? I read this somewhere I seem to remember ?

Harry Lauder lost his son John - his only child.
