57 FIVEPENNY FAVOURITES


Label: Sound Waves (SOW 525)

Release Date: 1996

Line-up: Eddie Crotty, George Radcliffe, Andrea Mullins, Pete Brew, Bernard Wrigley

Running Time:  56 minutes

57 Fivepenny Favourites is a marked departure from the band’s classic albums. The album is a series of medleys of cover songs made famous by other artists, including The Seekers, Peter Paul & Mary and Bob Dylan together with various folk and skiffle songs – the idea seemed to be an album with which listeners could sing along.  Although the cover says this is 'Volume Two' there never was a Volume One!   The plan had been to re-record Fivepenny Piece favourites of the past but this plan was dropped (according to Bernard Wrigley) when it was discovered EMI would be re-issuing the originals on CD.
