Hallelujah I Love Her So/Some Of These Days/Girls Girls Girls/El Relicario/Old Apache Squaw/Castin' My Spell/ What A Crazy World/Alley-Oop/Hava Nagila/The Sheik Of Araby/You Can't Lie To A Liar/Sweet Little Sixteen

Chirpy cockney pop vocalist and guitarist Joe Brown entered the UK album chart for the second time with this live set. None of his hit singles are included; instead the performance concentrates more on demonstrating his versatility as a musician. Joe had to wait a record 45 years before his next appearance on the UK album chart. (UK:14)

"Has some great tracks with a great live atmosphere."

"Joe Brown was generally regarded as one of the finest guitarists in the UK and his services were frequently in demand."

"A fantastic guitarist who has played with everybody from Johnny Cash to Billy Fury to The Beatles."

“Joe is one of the most talented musicians around, still brilliant."

“Brown and The Bruvvers were a loud, dexterous topflight band whose main problem was repertoire - when they weren't doing great songs like Picture Of You and It Only Took A Minute they wasted their time on silly novelty tunes. By the end of '63 Joe Brown was a novelty act, doing stage and screen, trying to be like Tommy Steele."

“What a brill time the 60s were, just starting and it was magic to live through."
