5.0 out of 5 stars A glimpse into a forgotten era ..., 4 Jun 2009

By	David Evans (Lancaster, UK) - See all my reviews

I bought this CD for a mixture of reasons; dim memories of the TV series, liking a few song from the period (Al Bowlly, plus Ray Noble's "The Very Thought of You" - not included in this collection), and because I'd heard this was about the best collection of recordings from that time you could get on CD.

I'm pleased to say I wasn't disappointed. Playing an entire CD is very atmospheric and relaxing, especially late in the evening. Recorded for the most part in the 1930's, the songs are dated, which is a big part of their charm; even those I had heard before were for the most part rendered in a slow and antiquated form. There are very few clunkers (arguably the Jack Buchanan number on disc 2) and many real gems (all of the Al Bowlly songs, "You Rascal You" by the Blue Lyres, "Painting the Clouds with Sunshire" by Jack Hylton, many more).

I went for the rarer and pricier 3 CD set (which features 69 tracks) on the basis that if I liked it I'd be glad I got the full version; if I didn't it seemed clear that second hand values are very robust in any case, so I could easily resell it.

If you have ever had an inclination to sample some of this style of music I recommend this as an excellent introduction. I have played it to friends who have all so far liked it a lot. Not that it matters, but I'm in my 30's - so unbiased by any boyhood memories!
