TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

"Anyone wanting a good, cheap compilation of recordings by Carroll Gibbons & the Savoy Hotel Orpheans would do well to consider this double CD. Two caveats; tracks are undated, but are mostly late thirties, and Bernie Tyrrell's liner note needs to be taken with a large dose of salt. That said, the 40 tracks on offer include many which have become classics, sung predominately by Anne Lenner and George Melachrino, with Brian Lawrance also featured on seven (two in duet with Anne, as also is one with Eric Whitley) and two by Sam Browne."
