MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEBRUARY 17TH. COLIN HOLMES.

MUSICALS FROM THE ATTIC.
Musicals from my loft which are forgotten and not yet re -released. On vinyl
only.

IRENE.

What do you want to make those eyes at me for / Alice Blue gown /
We're getting away with it / Great lover tango.

Entertaining British release with Julie Grant playing the leading lady.
There is a CD of IRENE with Debbie Reynolds playing the main part
but the English version is sharper and more complete. ****.

SMIKE.
Brimstone and treacle / Here I am / Dotheboys Hall / We've got
the youngsters interests at heart.

Taken from Nicholas Nickleby there are two versions. One with
Julie Gasgoine playing Mrs Squeers and another with Beryl Reid
playing the part. The second is infinitely better with Andrew Keirs
playing Mr Squeers. Both are only on Vinyl. ****.

BONNIE AND CLYDE.

 New American Show. Tracks played...You're going back to jail /
How 'Bout a dance / The world will remember us / Made in America.
