Description

Years before Monty Python, a red-nosed comedian in disreputable tails and an improbable moustache created a world all his own. With his spoofs of well-loved poems, raucous street-corner singing & surreal narratives of life in the saveloy-and-gin class, Billy brought a spirit of daring & rebellion to English music hall & variety stages in the '20s & '30s. Billy can now be seen as a street-wise surrealist & his remarkable humour shines as bright today as it did then. The CD is remastered to the highest standard from the best condition original 78-rpm discs.
