VA - 140 Original Hits - Wartime (6 CDs) (2010)

This
album will bring memories for your parents and grandparents, age
depending of course. Songs and music has always been used to lift the
spirits and that was never reflected as much during the dark days of the
second world war. Songs that were cheery, upbeat, comedic and songs for
the heart, key ingredients to keep up morale and that is all captured
on this 6 cd set. The collection starts and ends with Vera Lynn with
We'll Meet Again and The White Cliffs Of Dover (what else?) and
everywhere you look there's a familiar song and a few surprises. No
wartime compilation would be complete without The Andrews Sisters or
Gracie Fields and yes, they are here too.

There are some magical
names in this collection: Geraldo, Joe Loss, Al Bowlly, who conjure up
images of old black and white newsreels. There's a bit of fun with Robb
Wilton's The Home Guard, Flanagan and Allen, George Formby and Tommy
Trinder with Der Fuhrer's Face - a song made famous by Spike Jones. The
Big Bands such as those of Leslie `Hutch' Hutchinson and Ivy Benson's
All Girl Band feature, and Joe Loss and His Orchestra perform great
versions of some of the Glenn Miller hits. When Britain was up against
it, these songs kept the people going and wherever the British and
Allied troops were stationed help to remind them of home and keep their
spirits up, the music of this era is worth preserving and that is
exactly what this cd collection has achieved.
