 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Full title is: England's Famed Clown Prince of Song


Reissues of George Formby are not exactly rare but this 5CD JSP set (with a second volume to follow) is by far the most authoritative and expansive anthology to date, and perfectly timed to coincide with the 100th anniversay of Formby's birth in Wigan, Lancs, on 26 May 1904. Also, the technical quality of most Formby reissues is no cause for celebration, whereas this one has been remastered with particular care from one of the finest collections of Formby recordings, that of the late Kevin Daly.
