The Best Of Peter Sellers.

Well now I recon we should have a visit to NZ via John with some very unusual posts !....this one is like something that I can't even say what category you could give it !!..could be a narrative L/P with music ...and I guess that you will have to listen to the whole of the L/P to perhaps appreciate it...Good luck !! it got me a bit baffled !!.....But as I have said before "Variety Is the spice of life " and that includes Music !!...we will be with John in NZ for quite some time with some very varied music...

  3. Mick, hello. JohnF here. I agree with your comments about categorisation. English humour? Peter Sellers was primarily an actor. And then a comedian with the Goons? An thirdly a "musician"? 'Rock File 1955-69' by Charlie Gillett lists 3 hits, none of which appeared on this 1958 compilation. 'Any Old Iron' from 1957, 'Goodness Gracious me' with Sophie Loren from 1960 and 'Hard days night' from 1966. You have posted 'Goodness Gracious me' in the "All Aboard" compilation. On Youtube you'll find Peter Sellers performing 'A Hard Day's Night' by The Beatles, in the style of Laurence Olivier's interpretation of Richard III. For some reason, I thought Lonnie Donnegan had record 'Any old iron' but looking on Youtube, it was Peter Sellers. Apparently recorded in 1911 by Charles Collins. If anybody is interested I think I have the album 'Rule Britannia' by Sellers, Joan Collins & Anthony Newley from 1963 downstairs. I've never ripped it so far but ...
