50
years since the release of the very first best selling
Fivepenny Piece album for EMI comes a celebratory CD.
Master tapes were discovered of studio sessions long thought
wiped, showcasing the original Fivepenny Piece at their
peak. A mixture of Fivepenny favourites,
unreleased songs by John Meeks and Colin Radcliffe recorded by
the group and a few folk classics. 20 of the tracks have
been digitally restored after almost half a century of being
locked away undiscovered.
Six of the tracks are versions of songs that appeared on the
very first Fivepenny Piece album The Fivepenny Piece in April
1972, making this 50th anniversary release a true
celebration.
