 | | Description: | Zu Anfang als Komiker, später als Schauspieler bekannt - vor allem als Bösewicht Parky in "Der lange Karfreitag" - war Dave King auch ein talentierter Sänger mit einer Reihe von Hits in den späten 50er Jahren und einer erfolgreichen TV-Variety-Show. Dieses Set enthält alle bekannten Aufnahmen von Dave King von seiner ersten und einzigen Veröffentlichung bei Parlophone, das seltene "Sweet Kentucky Rose" und seine Kehrseite "You Should Know" (geschrieben vom späteren Morecambe and Wise-Produzenten Ernest Maxim), das hier zum ersten Mal wiederveröffentlicht wird, bis hin zu seinen Decca-Aufnahmen, darunter "Memories are Made of This" und "You Can't Be True to Two" sowie ein Medley mit Lita Roza und David Whitfield von einer Wohltätigkeits-EP. Die Aufnahmen der Decca-�ra sind in ihrer ursprünglichen Form zu hören, ohne den zusätzlichen Hall, der bei früheren Wiederveröffentlichungen hinzugefügt wurde. Ebenfalls enthalten sind die sechs Seiten, die er für Pye und Pye International aufgenommen hat, darunter Coverversionen von "High Hopes" und "Many a Wonderful Moment". Auch diese wurden noch nie wiederveröffentlicht. - PARLOPHONE, DECCA & PYE 1955-1961 Whilst originally known as a comedian and later as an actor - most notably as the villain Parky in the Long Good Friday - Dave King was also a talented singer with a string of hits to his name in the late 50's and a hit TV Variety show. This set includes every known recording by Dave King from his first and only release on Parlophone, the rare 'Sweet Kentucky Rose' and it's flipside 'You Should Know' (written by future Morecambe and Wise producer Ernest Maxim) which is reissued here for the first time, alongside all of his Decca recordings including 'Memories are Made of This' and 'You Can't Be True to Two' and a medley with Lita Roza and David Whitfield from a charity EP. The Decca era are featured in their original form without the additional reverb added to previous re-issues. DAVE KING - THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS 1955-1961This British actor ("The Long Good Friday," "Coronation Street") and comedian hosted "The Dave King Show" and scored a string of hits as a singer in the mid-'50s. This multi-label look at his recording prime includes his UK hits "Memories Are Made of This," "You Can't Be True to Two," "Christmas and You" and "The Story of My Life" plus "High Hopes," "Night and Day," "Home," "Red Shutters," "Chances Are"29 tracks! Jasmine."Complete Recordings" on CD brings together the surviving studio sides of vocalist and bandleader Dave King in one carefully curated anthology, offering a rare opportunity to experience his artistry in a coherent, chronological setting. Across the disc you'll hear an engaging blend of period pop, big-band swing and traditional songcraft, restored with care and warmth so that the nuances of his phrasing, timing and emotional delivery come to the fore. This collection is ideal both for long-time admirers wishing to have his key work in one place and for newcomers who want an accessible gateway into his recorded legacy. The sequencing highlights the evolution of his style, from intimate ballads to more uptempo, rhythm-driven titles, and the detailed booklet (where included) rounds out the listening experience with session information and contextual notes.
Dave King emerged in an era when the boundaries between popular song, jazz-influenced arrangements and light entertainment were fluid, and his recordings reflect this versatility. His warm, straightforward vocal style and sense of storytelling made him a distinctive presence on record, able to handle romantic material, reflective numbers and more playful songs with equal conviction. While not as widely documented on disc as some contemporaries, his studio output is prized by collectors for its charm, musicality and period authenticity. "Complete Recordings" allows these sessions to be appreciated as a body of work rather than isolated titles, underscoring his contribution to mid-20th-century vocal music.
The CD is released by Jasmine, a well-regarded reissue label specialising in classic jazz, swing, traditional pop and related genres from the shellac and early vinyl eras. Jasmine is known for assembling thoughtful compilations from original sources, with attention to discographical detail and careful audio transfers that respect the character of the original recordings while improving listenability. The label has built a strong reputation among collectors and genre enthusiasts for its focus on completeness, coherent programming and informative presentation, making this edition of "Complete Recordings" a reliable, archivally minded way to discover or revisit Dave King's work. | | | No. of tracks: |
