Our series Oh! It's A Lovely War now runs to four volumes. Vol 1 (CD41-001) is a single 78 minute disc, while Vol 2 (CD41-003), Vol 3 (CD41-006) and Vol 4 (CD41-011) are double disc sets each with a running time of over 150 minutes. All are collections of archive songs, marches and descriptive or comic sketches (mainly British) from the Great War, recorded between 1914 and 1918 and mastered from original 78 and cylinder sources, with sympathetic use of modern audio restoration technology. The series is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the Great War, vintage recordings and music hall, and are ideal for museum, dramatic and educational use. To order click here
Reviews: "An historically impressive collection of archival British recordings, and the sound is good. If you're into the historical aspects of the war this is an invaluable resource" (Lawrence Kay, Slipcue.com); "The quality is excellent, and we are fortunate that CD41 has undertaken the work of seeking out and issuing these recordings, many of which were thought to be lost" (Stand To!/Western Front Association, 9/2003); "The Sound of Flanders" (Great War Fiction, 11/2007)
