About this product
Long overshadowed by the historical importance of US Big Bands, the British scene of the pre-war years has been sadly neglected on CD. This 20 track overview presents the cream of UK based dance bands every bit as creative and relevant as their US counterparts. This overdue sampler presents recordings made between 1930 and 1945. The booklet contains full biographical and discographical details. Tracks include Billy Cotton (InchMargieInch), Lew Stone (InchWhite JazzInch), Henry Hall (InchGoody GoodyInch), Jack Hylton (InchSwing Is in the AirInch) and InchVictor Sylvester (InchGoodbye BluesInch). Acrobat. 2003.

For fans of Pavement, MGMT and Yo La Tengo. Happiness 'Weird Little Birthday' puts Happiness at the forefront of, wait for it, 'jangle-gaze' while displaying a complex melancholic and introspective nature. Filled with youthful exuberance and packed full of droll, deadpan British humor. This trio of South London lads have also taken the Brit press by storm making NME's Best Newcomers list and the Sunday Times Best Albums of the Year. Mixed by Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Daniel Johnston) and featuring a guest appearance from Ed Harcourt.
