The Essential Collection

Search: Got A Date With An Angel
by: Al Bowlly

Release Date March 19, 2007
This is a distillation of an earlier 3-CD set from Avid, about which I wrote a rave review at the time. It's a fascinating compilation, which makes up a chronological journey through Al's recording career. If you were lucky enough to buy the earlier set then there's nothing here that wasn't issued earlier, but if you missed out then grab this now. It's the ideal introduction to the supreme singer, and excellent value for money.

Roots of Swing

Search: Got A Date With An Angel
by: Pasadena Roof Orchestra

Release Date February 25, 2008
I got this early, pre-release, from a PRO concert tour and it is great! Heavily influenced by Bing Crosby and Armstrong/Duke Ellington styles, I liked this selection of music more than some of the earlier albums which veered more into later music. Recommended.

50 Melancholy Greats

Search: Got A Date With An Angel
by: Al Bowlly

Release Date August 01, 2005
Don't be put off by the title! I don't have it, but I have copies of all the titles in the compilation, and they are delightful. Since I haven't heard it I can't vouch for fidelity, but on the basis of value for money it must merit 5 stars.

The Al Bowlly Story 1928-1941

Search: Got A Date With An Angel
by: Al Bowlly

Release Date July 07, 2003
This is the finest and most comprehensive collection of Al Bowlly recordings ever released on CD. This 3-Disc box of delights should be on the shelves of not only Al's many fans, but also of all British Dance Band enthusiasts. Recordings by the bands of Howard Godfrey, Harry Hudson and Arthur Lally are rarely reissued and there are some nice examples of their work here like "Got A Date With An Angel" (Howard Godfrey & his Waldorfians) and the hot "Hello Mike" (Lally). The only significant band missed out that Al recorded with is the Grosvenor House Dance Orchestra led by Sydney Lipton.

Al's all-too-short career as one of the leading popular singers of the 20th Century is covered here through 76 recordings which have been brilliantly ... Read More:
