Rock Follies

Re-Post Requested By Dave In US.

 When I came across this L/P I got exited because this was one of my favourite TV Series from the 70's....BUT unfortunately it doesn't come across on record as it did on the screen !!...Now whether its because of the time lapse 29 years to be exact or the fact that for most of the time you can't hear the lyrics of the songs owing to the volume of the orchestra !!....Still its nice to hear the songs again...I fondly remember The "Glenn Miller" song and "Biba Nova"

England Dan & John Ford Coley.

Re-Post Requested By Annonymous.

Shift back a few years now to 1976 to a "Duo" whose style is similar to "Simon & Garfunkel" & "Cashman & West"....There biggest hit in England was Track No 1 and the rest of the L/P are songs that have been written by them so it's definitely a "Self-Penned Effort"....and its great to hear songs that make sense and have a story to tell !!!

1. I'd Really Love To See You Tonight
2. I'll Stay
3. Westward Wind
4. Long Way Home
5. There'll Never be Another For Me

1. Nights Are Forever Without You
2. It's Not The Same
3. Showboat Gambler
4. The Prisoner
5. Lady
6. Everything's Gonna Be Alright 

01. I'd Really Love To see You Tonight.mp3

I hope everybody is enjoying the tracks on the "Zippyshare" player !!...a couple of friends have clicked on the player and got a "Scam" msg....I had it once but closed the computer down checked with my virus checker and everything was ok !!!!...if lots of other people get the same thing then I will take the player off....Luigi..

 Harry Roy (12 January 1900 – 1 February 1971) was a British dance band leader and clarinet player from the 1920s to the 1960s. He performed several songs with suggestive lyrics including "My Girl's Pussy" (1931),^[1] and "She Had to Go and Lose It at the Astor" (1939).^[2][3][4]


 Roy was born Harry Lipman in Stamford Hill, London, England, and began to study clarinet and alto saxophone at the age of 16. He and his brother Sidney formed a band which they called the Darnswells, with Harry on saxophone and clarinet and Sidney on piano. During the 1920s they performed in several prestige venues such as the Alhambra and the London Coliseum, under names such as the Original Lyrical Five and the Original Crichton Lyricals. They spent three years at the Café de Paris, and toured South Africa, Australia and Germany.

Les Paul & Mary Ford

Ok we are still in the land of "Electronics" Guitars to be exact not like the "Synthesiser's" on the post below !!!...Two of the finest "Mary" Singin' and "Les" playin' !!!...I believe they were the first to devolop "Multi Track" recording !!

09. The Best Things In Life Are Free.mp3

Jean Jacques Perrey

Looking for something different and this one has caught my eye !!..not had any "Electronic" Music" and also thought that it was called "Mood Indigo" and did a double check and Lo ! and behold ! Its a play on the title... "MOOG" instead of MOOD !.....Its a great L/P because it incorporates some real melody's that are easy recognisable and doesn't go over the top with the "Electronics"..well worth a listen to !!!... and it a "Fun" one too !!! ..Definitely a "Luigi" recommend !!

07 - Gossipo Perpetuo.mp3

Shirley Bassey

Nice photo on the front and back of this L/P....A nice set of songs by "Dame Shirl"singing them as only she can !!

The Peddlers

I don't know why these guy's were not more popular than they were...maybe they were and I didn't know...just wish I had heard of them sooner !!...They do some great cover versions of songs that could have been hits in there own right !!.....This record shop is coming up with some real gems....Another Luigi's recommendation !!!...you won't be sorry !!!...Thanks John !!!
Time now to click these heels and get back to "Leicester"....and see if I can move these posts so they make sense !!!!!!
