Product Description:

2010 two CD collection, the second installment in this series that focuses on music that was initially banned by the BBC in the UK. George Formby's mild innuendo was often objectionable, but Louis Prima's 'Please No Squeeza De Banana' and Tom Lehrer's 'Be Prepared' stood no chance. The collection includes songs about drugs (Fats Waller's 'Reefer Man'), political incorrectness (Lonnie Donegan's 'Nobody Loves Like An Irishman'), advertising (Cliff Richard's 'High Class Baby' and The Playmates' 'Beep Beep'), and "mutilation of the classics" (such as Perry Como's 'Moonlight Love', which took it's melody from Debussy). The shock horror-rock of John Zacherle's 'Dinner With Drac' was considered despicable, but even Billy Fury's plaintive 'My Christmas Prayer' fell foul of the censors. Part of the fun is listening without reading the booklet and trying to guess why the tracks were banned. Many of the tracks are appearing on CD for the first time.
