Format:Audio CD
Great memories from the 1950's when my dad listened every Sunday to the Band Show. I bought this album for one track, Avalon, but the whole 24 tracks are so good that I played it three times in the first week I owned it.

My third Billy Cotton purchase off Amazon.
I was a little sceptical about this CD as it is on the Pegasus label (mostly associated with non-original recordings) so I presumed the recording quality may not have been up to scratch (pardun the pun) transferred from 78s.
However, full marks to the company for the very good recording transferrals from what are older (pre-Decca main label) records. There aren't any sleeve notes as such apart from the titles, therefore I assume they are REX recordings from the (mostly) late 30s/40s. Someone else may confirm this at a later date.
A good variety again, some comedy songs, some "straight" songs all done in the well recognised Billy Cotton way.
Recommended.

I bought this as a gift for my in-laws and they are very pleased with it. They make long car journeys and like to listen to CDs as they're driving. One thing they did say, though, was...nowhere on the CD does Billy Cotton actually shout 'Wakey wakey!' and they were kind of hoping he would, so it would bring back all the memories of the original radio show. Even so...they were still very happy with it and for the price, I really can't grumble.
