Hello Children Everywhere

Search: Pickin A Chicken - Eve Boswell
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 11, 2004
I grew up in England and we had this compilation on cassettes. Listening to the songs again brings me back to my childhood.

Great, classic English songs that are fun to listen to even as an adult! They clearly have a lasting effect, seeing as I listened to these songs when I was 4 years old, and am now 18.

I would definitely recommend buying this.

Memories Are Made Of This

Search: Pickin A Chicken - Eve Boswell
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 08, 2004
Let me take you back... to a time before the Beatles took the British popular music genre by the scruff of the neck and gave it something to make the Americans sit up and notice. Back to a time when the chart was called a hit parade and it was filled with (mostly male) singers either doing novelty songs or trying to be the next Cole or Sinatra (does that not sound familiar?).

Concentrating mainly on the period between the publication of the first British chart in 1954 and the arrival of the beat groups in 1963, this collection manages to squeeze 60 of those classic oldies into two and a half hours - in those days nothing outstayed its welcome. A few post-Beatles artists are included - they tended either to be comedians (Ken Dodd, Des O'Connor, ... Read More:

Hello Children Everywhere Vol.2

Search: Pickin A Chicken - Eve Boswell
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 19, 2003
This is a charming little CD with songs and extracts from quite a wide period. Uncle Mac's BBC newsreader tones from the early fifties describe a familiar children's game, whilst Benny Hill's Ernie brings back the early Seventies instantly.

My suspicions are that few of today's children will actually get to listen to this. It may well only be played once or twice by the Baby Boomers who do buy it, but it's also an interesting slice of British cultural history - Morecambe and Wise's Boom - Ooo - Yattatata will hopefully get a listening from another generation who will only know them from increasingly grainy clips shown on nostalgia shows.
