CD REVIEW
– THE
DANCING CLOCK
Yesterday’s
Music C171
This final CD from
This England and Evergreen
magazines is light music at its
best. A mix of rare and jolly
tunes and songs it brings down
the curtain on almost 300 CDs
released over 30 years. There
were more in the pipeline, all
featuring music never before
heard on CD and in some cases
unheard for 80 years but, sadly,
all good things come to an end
and the demise of the Cheltenham
operation was also the demise of
the music operation (see separate
article). Just for the
record (excuse the pun) here is
the track listing:
