Night Gallery + Teach The World To Laugh
2CD
"Originally formed in 1959, they became the Barron Knights on 5 October 1960. Although the Barron Knights undoubtedly had their own style and produced regular 'beat group' recordings in their own right, it was their production of humorous parodies that brought them the greatest success. In fact, their catalogue of recordings - although impressive - does not reflect their success as stage entertainers. By adapting their act to each new wave of emerging performers they were able to survive longer than their more conventional contemporaries, and even today can still be regularly found in cabaret or performing a seaside summer season. These two albums are released on CD for the first time ever. Founder member Peter Langford has been interviewed by Mojo’s Daryl Easlea for the extensive notes, on a release that promises to bring back the fun into music!".
