Notes

Recorded in London in 1960 by Barry Humphries himself.
Sandy Agonistes
Barry Humphries "This monologue was written and recorded in the basement of 2a Pembridge Gardens, Notting Hill Gate, London, in the winter of 1960. I had borrowed a tape recorder from a friend and discovered that it was possible, at the touch of a button, to superimpose one performance over another, giving an eerie translucent effect. The tape was sent back to Melbourne with several others similarly recorded, and issued by Ruth and Peter Mann on the Score label.
Thus recorded in 1960 but not issued until the following year.

Comments and Reviews

Fokeman 12th Nov 2022		It would be interesting to note that the friend was actually Bill Leader and it is quite probable that he was actually operating the machine for Humphries at the time. This is much more likely than that he lent out his precious equipment to someone inexperienced in its operation. It might be that by describing it thus, BH absolved himself of the need of actually thanking anyone for the recording of his performance.
