5.0 out of 5 stars
A total experience in nostalgia,
By John (New York, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great British Experience (Audio CD)
This CD set brought back wonderful memories of my childhood days in London during the 1950's. I remember so many of these tunes including "Emergency Ward 10", "Children's Favourites" which was a Saturday morning radio habit on the Light Programme, and "Paul Temple"What makes this set so particularly marvelous is that it contains the original recordings of these themes which were mostly unavailable to the public in the 1950's. My one disappointment is that the BBC version of "Barwick Green" is not included, though this is hardly surprising since I have been trying for years to get a copy of it from the BBC, all to no avail. Notwithstanding, there is no question that this is an outstanding treat for anyone who ever heard these programs in the 1950's.

Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great British Experience (Audio CD)
An excellent CD set, almost all the tracks are very familiar, and those that aren't are very good too. It also includes the version of Sailing By used at night on Radio 4, right down to the duff bass note after the second middle-eight! Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best CDs I've ever bought!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great British Experience (Audio CD)
The summary above says it all! This is a totally wonderful collection of those nostalgic 40's & 50's tunes that you hear every so often. In fact, I've been searching for some of the recordings on this Cd for years, and now that I've found them - all on this 2 CD collection - I'm as happy as Larry!From Puffin' Billy to Coronation Scot, they're all on here. Many of them are instantly recognizable although some of the track tiles may not be familiar. For instance "Las Vegas" is the wonderful theme tune to that Johnny Morris classic "Animal Magic" and "Non Stop" is the old theme tune to early ITN news broadcasts (which I even remember!) I heartily recommend this collection if you like this kind of thing! All that's missing is my pipe and slippers. P.S. You don't have to be born in the 40's and 50's to appreciate this CD.
