Early Joe Brown and hits...
The Best of Joe Brown and the Bruvvers, DAY2CD299Joseph Roger "Joe" Brown, MBE (born 13 May 1941) is an all round entertainer whose very long career has had him a rock and roll singer and guitarist for more than five decades. He was a stage and television performer in the late 1950s and a UK recording star in the early 1960s. He has made six films, presented radio series for BBC Radio 2, appeared on the West End stage alongside Dame Anna Neagle and has written an autobiography. In recent years he has again concentrated on recording and performing music, playing two tours of around 100 shows every year and releasing an album almost every year.Described by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, as a "chirpy Cockney", Brown was one of the original artists managed by the early rock impresario and manager Larry Parnes. He is highly regarded in the music business as a "musician's musician" who "commands respect and admiration from a wide spectrum of artists".All of these singles are included on this new 2 CD set...* People Gotta Talk" / "Comes the Day" – Decca – F11185* 1960 "The Darktown Strutters Ball" / "Swagger" – Decca – F11207 UK No.34* 1960 "Jellied Eels" / "Dinah" – Decca – F11246* 1961 "Crazy Mixed Up Kid" / "Stick Around" – Piccadilly – 7N35000* 1961 "Good Luck and Goodbye" / "I'm Henry The Eighth" – Piccadilly – 7N35005* 1961 "Shine" / "The Switch" – Pye – 7N15322 UK No.33* 1962 "What A Crazy World We're Livin' In" – Piccadilly – 7N35024 UK No.37* 1962 "A Picture of You" – Piccadilly – 7N35047 UK No.2* 1962 "Your Tender Look" – Piccadilly – 7N35058 UK No.31* 1962 "It Only Took A Minute" – Piccadilly – 7N35082 UK No.6Running times CD1: 36.23 & CD2: 32.23Includes colour images of Joe.

Nostalgia at its best
Reminds me of my youth - lonnie donigan et al - excellently done and Joe Brown and the bruvvers were exceptionally fine musicians for their time - well the family songs are pithy, fun - and excellent.Don't think about them just lie back and enjoy.

Well recommended.
From A Picture of You I've been a fan of Joe Brown and have seen him concert several times in which he showed his prowess on different types of stringed instruments. Well recommended.
