Just a quick one. I'm returning to this blogger's note from a few days ago:
I was intrigued by Harry Baldwin's reference to whether or not the actor and comedian, Peter Sellers, would make another ". . . “political party” recording", and tried to find a reference to that recording. The funny thing is that I'm not sure what recording he is originally referring to but Sellers did in fact make another "political party recording" like Baldwin suggested. In April 1964, with Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe, he released the comedy album, 'How To Win An Election (Or Not Lose By Much)'. It made the Top 20.
I think I found the original ". . . “political party” recording" by Peter Sellers that Harry Baldwin was referring to in his article. The track, "Party Political Speech", dates from 1958, and was featured on his The Best of Sellers album. What's intriguing is that the album was produced by George Martin, and I'm sure I read somewhere that part of the reason The Beatles immediately connected to Martin was because of his past association with Sellers and Spike Milligan. (Actually, I just found a clip confirming that.)
Anyway, here's Peter Seller's performing "Party Political Speech":
