The Less Deceived: £10.00

Philip Larkin reads The Less Deceived. Twenty nine poems recorded in a professional studio that, according to Philip Larkin was "alright for making a private record for your New Zealand cousins of your daughter singing Over The Rainbow". It also states in the original Larkin sleeve notes that the studio was rather noisy during the recording: "there were all sorts of extra noises that were unsettling – people going upstairs, and pulling lavatory chains, and so on". The recording took place on 24th October 1958 in London and was edited by George Hartley.

Maureen Lipman

An Evening with Maureen Lipman CBE: £8.00

Maureen Lipman, Hull’s very own star of stage and screen, was the distinguished guest at a dinner and auction organised to raise funds towards the Philip Larkin statue. Recorded on 2nd September 2010, this very witty and humorous CD captures the wonderful atmosphere created at this extremely successful event. The dinner raised approximately £9,000, an amazing sum, which means the cost and installation of the statue is now fully funded.
