PEDDLERS OF SONGS


Label: Columbia SCX 6607

Release Date: April 1979

Running Time: 36 minutes

The tenth - and final - album for EMI saw a new approach.   Instead of the regional lanky flavour of previous records,  this is an all out assault on easy listening pop.  Producer Keith Rossiter and arranger Don Gould craft a sophisticated album of extremely listenable songs (with under half provided by John Meeks and his collaborators) which once again showcase just what superb performers Fivepenny Piece were.  Perhaps it was EMI's last attempt at getting a hit single for the group who had conquered everywhere except the singles market.  Perhaps the inclusion of the childrens song 'Willie Pollard' is the only jarring note on the most polished of all the Fivepenny Piece albums.  The single chosen from the album, 'I'll Be Still In Love With You', again met with indifference from singles buyers but there are a number of tracks which could have been contenders.   A superb leaving gift to EMI.

Producer:  KEITH ROSSITER

Arranger:  Don Gould
