Product Description

Album Description

Joining the Essential Collection line up this month we welcome
'im from up north', Stanley Augustus Holloway.
Actually born in Manor Park East London in 1890 we could all be forgiven
for believing him a northerner given the authenticity of his fine Monolgues
all of which we feature here on this well filled double RE-MASTERED CD.
All the classics are included here from the legendary , (and forever
doomed!), The Lion And Albert plus of course the Return Of Albert to Brahn
Boots and With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm.
CD2 continues the fun and as a special bonus to round things off we have
included two classic songs from My Fair Lady and forever associated with
Stanley Holloway, With A Little Bit Of Luck and Get Me To The Church On
Time, songs he would continue to sing until he finally had to stop
performing in the late 1970's.

By Barry McCanna TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
There was a time when the art of monologue held quite a hallowed place in our culture, as evinced by such names as Gillie Potter, Sandy Powell and Joyce Grenfell. Stanley Holloway was born in East London, but assumed the persona of a northerner, having perfected the accent during the First World War through enlisting in a Yorkshire regiment. Avid has gathered together 35 of his classic monologues, spanning 1930 to 1941, together with dialogue with Sir Laurence Olivier from the soundtrack of the 1947 film "Hamlet", concluding with his two celebrated 1956 recordings as Alfred P Doolittle of the two songs from "My Fair Lady". As is usual with Avid, superb restoration coupled with generous running time has produced a tremendous bargain.
