England Swings
Quirky compilation in mp3.
Similar vibe to the famous Nuggets/Pebbles albums.
About half way through you can be forgiven if, like me,
you find yourself thinking 'What the hell am I doing with my life?'
This would be great to play at a party.

I've been through almost of these songs but... what's that thing : the Goons - My September Love ? Was this really edited by a record company ? Did I miss something ?
ReplyDeleteI pity my friends who as musicians never got to get a contract signed by a record company.
Thanks for the rest of these songs. :)
Greetings from sunshine near Paris,
The Goon Show was a well known radio comedy series featuring Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine. It was influential due to Spike's surreal sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteOff course, it's hard for a non follower of this radio comedy to get into such stuff. You had to be there at the right time right place. So many things that can't be shared because you weren't there.
DeleteVery British humour I suppose. It was an influence on Monty Python which had a wider success. Spike Miilgan's war memories is a notable book. 'Adolf Hitler...My Part in His Downfall'
