Paris in the 20s and 30s was one of the most romantic, passionate anddecadent cities on earth. This is reflected in the music of those heady days.

These 25 tracks engulf you in the extraordinary richness of the traditionalFrench songs created between the 1920s and the 1950s.

Sit down, relax and prepare yourself to rediscover the passion, drama andunique voice of Edith Piaf: the sophisticated, gently witty songs of JeanSablon: and a delightful collection of poetic, nostalgic and melodic tunes.

AL BOWLLY - LOVE IS THE SWEETEST THING24 classic tracks from Al Bowlly, the greatest danceband singer of them all.

THE INK

SPOTS

SWING HIGH!

SWING LOW!

Let's Do It – the staple ingredientof Hutch's repertoire for forty years

"I am totally blown

away - I own over

40 different Ink

Spots CDs and not

one even comes

close to the sound

of yours - I put it

on and my jawdropped."

T Cote, USA

HUTCH SINGS GERSHWIN & PORTER - LETS DO IT!Hutch is synonymous with the songs of Cole Porter and we are proud to present 78 minutesof musical bliss! Recalling that he played double piano with Cole Porter, Hutch said that 'hetaught me how to play his songs as he wanted them sung.' Enjoy the 'maestro of nostalgia'.

THE INK SPOTS - SWING HIGH! SWING LOW!Much loved early recordings from 1935 to 1938; The InkSpots' 'hot and jive-packed era.'

Al Bowlly’s voice can be heard on more than 1000 78rpm recordings, but on most of these he is ananonymous vocal refrain with a popular dance band. He expressed real emotion in any song he sang.

"This is, by far andaway, the finest Al Bowlly album nowavailable."BBC Radio North

"Vintage Christmas -

what a wonderful

trip down memory

lane. Just Perfect"

Stuart Francis, Edinburgh


The Christmas Song was written by Bob Wells and up-and-coming vocalist Mel Torme during a heatwave in July1945. They rushed it round to Carlos Gastel, Nat King Cole's manager, and the upshot was that the Nat KingCole Trio recorded it with a string backing the following year. It was worth the wait. With Nat's impeccable darkand intimate vocal the disc reached No.3 in the Hit Parade. It has remained a yuletide evergreen ever since.
