Great news! A new Fivepenny Piece compilation The Fivepenny Piece Collection is now available from EMI. This is the first new Fivepenny Piece CD from EMI since 1998. Here's the press release with more details: |
|
" Lancashire’s legendary band The Fivepenny Piece have a new album out, featuring many of their best loved songs from their 1970s EMI albums, including many previously unissued on CD. One of the best known groups in the country during the 1970s, they had their own BBC TV series, made 13 albums and several singles for EMI, and reached the Top 10 with their album King Cotton. The group was formed in the late 1960s by brother and sister John Meeks (guitar and vocals) and Lynda Meeks (vocals); brothers George Radcliffe (bass) and Colin Radcliffe (guitar); and Eddie Crotty (guitar and vocals). They all hailed from the Stalybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne area of south-east Lancashire, and many of their songs reflected their roots, with its hardships and humour in equal measure. But their music wasn’t all about Lancashire by any means, as this collection shows. The group’s repertoire was mostly self-penned, with John and Colin forming one of the great unsung songwriting partnerships of all time. Eddie Crotty’s contribution - mainly in the Lancashire idiom - shouldn’t be overlooked, and Colin’s superb bass-playing and Lynda’s fabulous voice all take credit for the group’s appeal, which spread far outside their native county: in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand - even in Yorkshire!

This is the first truly new Fivepenny Piece CD from EMI since 1991, when the first compilation CD The Fivepenny Piece was released. This was issued again under a different title The Very Best Of The Fivepenny Piece in 1998, but with the same track listing. Now comes a different compilation The Fivepenny Piece Collection, with many favourite tracks, as well as a few rarities, not previously issued on CD. Old familiar favourites like Ee By Gum and Big Jim are there, but so are the bouncy Hang The Flag Out Mrs Jones, which the group sang on and won Granada TV's New Faces back in 1969; the beautiful love song Look Into My Eyes; the old Lancashire music hall song The Ashton Mashers - all on CD for the very first time. And there are many more gems - look at the track listing above. |
