[78-L] The Goons

[David Lennick]

Egad..they made 8 sides for Decca, a couple for HMV as a group (not issued till 
decades later) and enough to fill an lp as soloists, Parlophone and then BBC 
Records issued many airchecks, and in recent years the Beeb itself has put out 
dozens of restored and complete programs in 2-CD sets (usually 5 sets at a 
time). Decca 984 162-7 contains all the Decca sides plus a bunch of the EMIs 
and isn't hard to find.

Bluebottle Blues/I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas was also issued by London 
in the US and Canada (possibly the only one to be issued here at the time).
