Elton Hayes published three 78-rpm records with Edward Lear songs, the first one in October 1950 (Parlophone R 3329) and containing The Table and the Chair and The Jumblies (to be posted next Wednesday).

This was followed by Parlophone R 3602 (December 1952), containing The Broom, the Shovel, the Poker and the Tongs and The Quangle Wangle’s Hat, and Parlophone R 3692 (June 1953), with The Duck and the Kangaroo and The Owl and the Pussy-cat.

All six recordings were finally collected in the EP For The Children, Parlophone (GEP 8551) in 1955.
