Extra notes on cover, middle (gatefold sleeve) and any inserts
It was in 1959 that ''Sing something simple'' was first braodcast by the BBC. Intended originally as a six week summer ''fill-in'' programme, it was an immediate success with the listeners and has been broadcast continuously every Sunday afternoon ever since. Unashamedly based on nostalgia the repertoire now runs into thousands of items ranging from Victorian ballads like 'Blass this houns' to Lennon and McCartney numbers like 'I want to hold your hand'. The one common element is that all the songs have that sing-a-long quality. This selection of 56 items have been personally selected to provide ''the best of'' Sing something simple, and all of us, singers and musicians alike are unanimous in our feeling that the recording sessions that make up this record were the most rewarding and enjoyable that we have ever experienced. I sinserely hope that you will enjoy them as much as we have. Happy listening. CLIFF ADAMS. Music arranged and directed by Cliff Adams. Accompanied by Jack Emblow.

You will find all the US Pickwick label versions linked at the parent company Pickwick International, Inc. Pickwick Records quickly established itself as the market leader in budget-price LPs thanks to its innovative business practices. It was the first UK company to put in place exclusive licensing deals with the major record companies (for many years it was the official budget reissue outlet for labels such as RCA - since 1973 - and CBS.)
