Customer Reviews

A Welcome Addition
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.

Great !!
Agree whole-heartedly with Stuart, especially with regard to EMI issuing a full anthology boxed-set.

Hear Hear!
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.
