Product Description

From the Label

Here’s a fantastic album and a perfect opportunity to fill your world with the happy sounds of gentler times. Hello Children Everywhere takes it’s name from a BBC Radio show that ran through the 1950’s and 60’s called "Children’s Favourites". It was presented by Derek McCulloch aka Uncle Mac and later, in the late 60’s by Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart (as "Junior Choice").

The programme was introduced with the catchphrase "Hello Children... Everywhere" and the instantly recognisable theme music was "Puffin’ Billy". Uncle Mac would then read kids requests and play a wonderful selection of novelty songs, folk tunes, choirs and instrumental favourites. All the music dates from the 1920’s through to the 60’s and is a glimpse at an older generation and the culture built around these great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding compilation of children's music, 3 April 2008
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is the second triple CD released in Britain titled Hello children everywhere. The first was a budget release containing 60 tracks that I reviewed some time ago, while this one was released as a full priced collection (perhaps as a result of the sales of the earlier compilation) supported by a TV marketing campaign. I really wanted this collection when it was released, but with limited resources I waited in the hope that I could get it at a better price. Eventually, Amazon UK offered it at a price that I found irresistable.

I remember listening to Children's hour on the radio in the fifties (introduced by Uncle Mac with his catch-phrase Hello children everywhere) and the music played on that programme is the basis of this set, although at least a couple of songs (Ernie, Lily the pink) of more recent vintage are included. A few others have more recent copyright dates (some of the Disney tracks are listed with 1997 copyrights) but I think that merely reflects a renewal of copyright rather than actual recording dates. So this compilation adheres more strictly to the title's concept than the earlier budget collection, which contains Ernie (Benny Hill) and Lily the pink (Scaffold), together with more tracks of a later vintage (among them Grandad and There's no one quite like Grandma). Of course, if you're going to include mid-sixties music, the perfect compilation would include Yellow submarine (Beatles) and Puff the magic dragon (Peter Paul and Mary), but I suspect they couldn't get permission to include those tracks even if they wanted to.

Bernard Cribbins, a comedian, took two very funny songs (Hole in the ground, Right said Fred) into the British top ten in the early sixties and both are included here.

Among the other songs here, you'll find Nellie the elephant, Teddy bears' picnic, The ugly duckling, How much is that doggie in the window, zip-a-dee-doo-dah, When you wish upom a star, Robin Hood, Tie me kangaroo down sport, The deadwood stage, The runaway train, Give a little whistle, I know an old lady, Michael row the boat ashore, Where have all the flowers gone, English country garden, Big rock candy mountain, Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, Happy wanderer, A windmill in old Amsterdam, The Siamese cat song, Pickin' a chicken and many others, not all of them strictly children's songs. Most are performed by the artists with whom they are associated in Britain, not that children will be that bothered about who the singers are although some adults might be.

On any collection of children's songs, there are inevitably some that adults would regard as novelty songs. As such, it would be remarkable if any adult loves every one of the tracks here. I am no exception, but I won't dwell on the tracks I dislike - with 75 tracks, most of them very enjoyable, this is great value for money (especially at the price I paid). It will provide great entertainment for children, or for adults remembering their childhood. Among adults, it is likely to have particular appeal to those (like me) who remember children's music as it was played on radio in the fifties, whether by Uncle Mac and his BBC Children's hour or an equivalent program on American radio.

4.0 out of 5 stars More normal times, 3 April 2008
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Today you imagine this sort of stuff appeals more to adults than kids yet its somehow hard to understand how Sixteen Tons could have been a Childrens Favorite.
Supposedly based on the results of requests you take their word for it.
Many of these tracks were produced by the pre Beatles George Martin-Mandy Miller and Bernard Cribbins for example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great CD!
This CD is full of traditional songs that I was brought up on, but younger people don't seem to know as well nowadays. They are all original recordings too. Read more
