The Little Red Songbook

The Little Red Songbook

The album "The Little Red Songbook" (Le Grand Magistery 61665-60006) was released by Momus (Nick Currie) in 1998. This CD features a number of Karaoke versions of the songs that were used for a singing contest. The winners of the contest appear on the CD Stars Forever.

The original release of this CD contained a controversial song entitled "Walter Carlos". In 1998, the subject persona of the song, Wendy Carlos, sued Momus for $22 millioncite news|first=Fiona|last=Shepherd|title=The World Can Change in a Matter of Momus|work=The Scotsman|publisher=The Scotsman Publications Ltd.|date=1999-09-10|page=23] .
