A Welcome Addition 17 Mar 2007
Format:Audio CD
It is heart warming that EMI have chosen to issue another Fivepenny Piece CD. On the downside, and no criticism of the group, eight of the 23 tracks are repeats from the earlier "Best of..." CD, while the title Brown Photographs, in one form or another, appears 3 times in this Collection. Still, it's all great. Buy both releases. You will certainly enjoy them but, for those who know, this is only a taste, a tease as it were, of the material that should be available. It is high time EMI offered the entire collected works of The Fivepenny Piece on CD as an anthology boxed set - everything from the early LP's, the two "On Stage" performances from the Broadoak, onto the later classic King Cotton and more. Through song and poem, these recordings not only entertain but recall the habits, the happiness, the hardships and importantly the humour of life throughout the industrial North, especially Lancashire, while Britain transformed from ruling an Empire to more modern times. Far too good to be left gathering dust in the recording vaults of EMI.

Looking Back 9 Oct 2009
By M. Hall
Format:Audio CD
Many moons ago and living close to Ashton-under-Lyne, I regularly heard this band on local radio and sometimes on regional TV, they were good, their music original and their humour very northern, so therefore funny - finding this disk on Amazon, was brilliant, not expensive, a piece of my history, great stuff.

Hear Hear! 31 July 2009
Format:Audio CD
I would also like to wholeheartedly agree with Stuart. I have many of the group's vinyl recordings and would love to see them digitised.

As the title suggests, this is a very good selection of the group's songs. If you are an old fan, then this CD will bring back some good memories - especially if you have been a... Read more

I was surprised to learn that the Fivepenny Piece never became full time professionals, all of them maintaining their day jobs. This makes their success all the more remarkable. Read more

Great, but...
