(Wilson) (RNBW004)

Original London Cast with Penelope Newington, Richard Owens, Karin Clair, Richard Martin, Roderick Joyce, Suzanne Neve, Norman Warwick, Jacqueline Guise with Musical Direction by Jack Drummond. Five Sandy Wilson songs that were written in 1960 to link Robert Tanich's four playlets that looked at various aspects of love in various eras - Victorian, Edwardian, the 20s and the 60s. Fifty years ago Wilson began his distinguished West End career with the spectacular success of THE BOY FRIEND. To celebrate that occasion Bayview is proud to reissue the most complete selection of Sandy Wilson material available on disc. This CD not only features the Original London Cast recording of CALL IT LOVE, but also songs from THE BOY FRIEND, DIVORCE ME DARLING, VALMOUTH, THE BUCCANEER, HIS MONKEY WIFE, and first time recordings from SLINGS AND ARROWS, SEE YOU LATER, OH HENRY! and Wilson's unproduced adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's "Berlin Stories", GOODBYE TO BERLIN played and sung by the composer and recorded live at the Players Theatre, London. Additional bonus tracks include Wilson on piano with Art Greenslade and his Orchestra, playing selections from DIVORCE ME DARLING! and Fenella Fielding's "Outdoor Girl" from the revue PIECES OF EIGHT.

"… he [Wilson] delivers his own songs with wit and style. On the six tracks from Call It Love the company is particularly droll.”
