London: Cherry Red Records / Kensington Gardens, 1979 Original 1979 vintage vinyl 2-Record set ... As New condition - played once ... Exceptionally Nice ... in glossy Black & White and Color photographic Gatefold double stiff card sleeve .... Protected in New non-stick Clear vinyl sleeves ... ExcellentGift Giving quality ... Unique author Quentin Crisp wrote many books in his lifetime ... most all of them about the life and times of Quentin Crisp. From his first book, the fantastic ' Chog ' ... to his life story , the acclaimed " Naked Civil Servant " , and many many other books ... that span the history of Edwardian England ( he was always careful to note : " I am only an Edwardian, not a Victorian ) ... to the social mores and manners of a rapidly changing society in the latter half of the 20th century ... his fascinating writing touched many many audiences, besides his loyal following in the gay community ... His autobiographies and books of film reviews evoke an era of Oscar Wilde, but wittier ... of Somerset Maugham, but more amusing ... and when he spoke to his readers in his own inimitable style ... it was a delightful treat indeed. ... An Evening with the naked civil servant Quentin Crisp , February 22 nd, 1979 ... On Record One, recorded during the first part of the show, Mr. Crisp, author the The Naked Civil Servant, upon which the film of the same name is based, explains how he obtained his secrets for surviving and prospering in society.... He also discusses his recommendations on how it is possible for everyone to develop a lifestyle..... On the second record, Mr. Crisp answers questions written, during the intermission, by members of the audience, and submitted to him .... The London Evening News says of his live performance "This is without a doubt the most extraordinary entertainment in London .... Mr. Crisp throws out ideas with the eloquence of Bertrand Russell, the wit of Oscar Wilde, and the slyness of a naughty cherub .... Not since Wilde delivered a lectur e on art to the miners of Colorado in 1882 can an individual have defied the odds against success with anything so bizarre and daring...." Coming to New York for the first time, at age 71, Mr. Crisp, who ' until recently had found it difficult to believe in abroad' fell in love with the city ' ..... (" I was always American in my heart " ) .... This public performance is a humble attempt to thank the human race for having, to some extent, revised the condemnatory opinion it has held of him for so long ! ... With facsimile signature, and delightful liner notes, as well as 8 photographs of the master, this is vintage Crisperanto at its very best..... Whether listened to alone for solitary inspiration, or with friends at party time, you'll want to play this charming recording again & again.... This record came from the private collection of a correspondent of Quentin Crisp ... She had stacks of signed letters, and transcripts from when they would, as he said, ' commit an act of telephony', as well as an exclusive 90 minute radio interview with him from the 80s ... This record was played only once, ironically, for Mr. Crisp himself ... " An Evening with the naked civil servant Quentin Crisp in New York , February 22nd, 1979 " ... by Quentin Crisp ...

His best-known book of his writings is his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave ... It was first published in 1845, and caused an uproar with the critics, and some of the reading public, who questioned whether the account was authentic ... Some couldn't believe that a black man who was born a slave could have written such a powerful literary book.The book was a bestseller for years and received great reviews, and was translated into other languagues ... His works spanned the period just before , and during, the U.S. Civil War, and he was acquainted with John Brown, although did not share his vision of plans for a slave revolt. ... The late Brock Peters was born George Fisher in New York , in 1927 , and was an African American actor probably best known for his portrayal of Tom Robinson, in To Kill a Mockingbird ...

Borrowing A Match ... My Friend The Reporter ... Mother's Day ... How To Borrow Money ... While You're At It ... Boarding House Geometry ... Familiar Magic of Fishing ... Canadian actor and TV Presenter John Robert Roy Drainie ( 1916 - 1966) was once called "the greatest radio actor in the world" , by none other than the esteemed Orson Welles! ... Drainie was most famous in Canada for the lead role in the radio adaptation of W. O. Mitchell's Jake and the Kid, and for his popular one-man stage show, in which he played author and humorist Stephen Leacock, although he played hundreds of other parts, on radio and television, including that of Matthew in the 1956 CBC movie of Anne of Green Gables ... Drainie began his career in radio with CJOR, CKNW and CBU in Vancouver. He was one of a group of actors, including the legendary Alan Young, ( of Mr. Ed fame ), and Andrew Allan, who first came before the public on Vancouver airwaves in the pre-War era ... Drainie eventually moved to Toronto to become part of the CBC - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's - famed "Golden Age of Radio", where he worked with such greats as Jane Mallett, Barry Morse, Christopher Plummer, and more ... In 1954 Drainie voiced an "extraordinarily lifelike imitation" of the character modelled after Joseph McCarthy, in the satirical radio play The Investigator, written by Reuben Ship, who was himself 'blacklisted' and subsequently deported by to Canada in 1953 following the anti-communist HUAC - House Unamerican Activities witchhunt McCarthy 'hearings' ... Unafraid of confrontational topics right up to the end, his long radio career didn't wrap up until he just physically couldn't do it anymore .. In 1964 Drainie was cohost with Laurier Lapierre of the first season of the highly controversial newsmagazine series " This Hour Has Seven Days " ... The ACTRA " John Drainie Award " and the Writers' Trust of Canada " Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize " , are two of the major performing awards in Canada which have been named in honor of John Drainie ... This record is a rare treat, hearing two Canadian legends, one 'reading' the other ... Leacock would undoubtedly have approved ! ...
