5.0 out of 5 stars A great souvenir of a British jazz legend, 16 Aug 2007

By	Dr. George L. Sik (Epsom, Surrey) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Since George Melly died earler this year, I have tried to buy up some of the recordings that made him famous and brought back memories of the two occasions when I was lucky enough to see him perform live. Of all the available albums, this one may not have the most recognisable standards (though Frankie and Johnny are present and correct) but it perhaps sums 'Goodtime George' up best - the title really does say it all.

Even the more bluesy numbers feel quite swinging and up-tempo (check out Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair) and fun numbers like Mississippi Mud and Abdul Abulbul Amir - not one you could get away with singing these days, I should think! - transport you to a night at Ronnie Scott's just before Christmas, the booze flowing freely, cigarette smoking still permitted.

Good on you, George - you'll be sorely missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars George Melly at his very best., 14 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This CD is the best compilation I have come across of George's early work. From the lively rendition of Black Bottom to the dryly humerous Grandmothers Old Arm Chair, this album is upbeat throughout, you can't help but sing and dance along.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melly at his best, 5 Jul 2007

By	Seethru (Alloway) - See all my reviews

These are early mono recordings when George's voice was at its most powerful. The honest interpretation & the depth of soul & emotion and that come out from these songs tell me that he was one of the best jazz singers ever, on any side of the Atlantic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very early work
This cd is an album of VERY early work - 1950's to 1970's.

George Melly's voice and delivery is very little like the relaxed, lived-in style of later, possibly better known... Read more
