5.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack to a 1950s Childhood, 8 Jun 2004
By M. ABBOTT "mikeabbott" (Kew, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
SOUNDTRACK TO A 1950s CHILDHOOD

For people of a certain age there is a collection of melodies that wing them immediately back to their 1950s childhood. These have now been brought together on one CD with issue of "British Light Classics". One of the most evocative is "Coronation Scot" - a highly successful piece of music that became the signature tune to the BBC private eye series "Paul Temple", broadcast every afternoon on the Light Programme at 4. Equally recognisable as the signature tune to "Dick Barton - Special Agent" is "Devil's Gallop" while everyone now knows that "Sleepy Lagoon" is the signature tune to "Desert Island Discs" and "Little Suite" was the signature tune to BBC television's arts programme, "Monitor". For industrial strength oldies, "Puffin' Billy" will be recognized as the tune that opened and closed "Uncle Mac", BBC radio's Saturday morning magazine programme for children. It's a CD only for those who want to recall a calmer, less hurried age of 'Eagle' comic, bikes with Sturmey Archer gears, Sunday lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and "Billy Cotton's Band Show" on the radio. Either way, it's a very rare, wonderful and enjoyable trip down memory lane.

5.0 out of 5 stars So very British......, 13 May 2004
By A Customer
There are some great British 'institutions' on this disc. So many pieces that are so familiar, yet relatively few that anyone could put a title to, let alone name the composer. Besides the more well-known favourites (Dambusters, Devil's Gallop) are some real gems - could you hum the tune to 'Barwick Green'? You could, though you probably don't realise it. You'll be listening, and as each new track begins, thinking 'I've heard that one before.....'

Beautifully written, beautifully played and totally memorable, these are true classics from down the years that deserve to be in anyone's collection - go on, you won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 30 Jan 2007
By Mr. S. Phillips "Shane" (Stafford, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great price for a wide selection of British Classics. The pieces are performed and recorded well and make an enjoyable alternative to the more serious classical music that is normally on offer. However if you are looking for full emotional depth in your music then these pieces will seem a bit too light for you.
