Release Date: 1st May 2006

This was the first truly new The Fivepenny Piece album released by EMI since the early 1990s. The Fivepenny Piece Collection is a compilation album, and contains many favourite tracks as well as a few rarities not previously issued on CD. Old familiar favourites like Ee By Gum and Big Jim are there, but so are the bouncy Hang The Flag Out Mrs Jones, which the group sang on and won Granada TV’s New Faces back in 1969; the beautiful love song Look Into My Eyes; and the old Lancashire music hall song The Ashton Mashers – all on CD for the very first time.

Fans will recognise the sleeve as the same as the 1973 album Songs We Like To Sing.
