Description
'On Air' is a landmark collection representing a unique archival discovery of recordings made by Petula Clark for various BBC Radio programmes between 1951 and 1961, including the long running 'Calling All Forces' where Petula appeared and broadcast as the resident featured artist. Almost all of this collection of songs is unheard since their original transmission and ensures that these historical broadcasts are no longer lost to history.
'On Air' features 23 tracks, 18 of which make their debut on CD. Highlights include stunning performances from the 'Calling All Forces' programme including Rodgers and Hart's 'With A Song In My Heart' and Piaf's 'While The Angelus Was Ringing' ('Les Trois Cloches'), accompanied by Geraldo and His Orchestra with the George Mitchell Singers and Choir. Other standout selections include up tempo covers of the Dean Martin and Line Renaud duet 'Relax-Ay-Voo' and the Doris Day hit 'Ooh Bang Jiggily Jang'. The collection also features live performances by Petula of her own hits 'Sailor' and 'Suddenly There's A Valley', plus a live rendition of the theme song to her 1952 film 'Made In Heaven' introduced by co-star David Tomlinson.
Petula Clark 'On Air 1951 - 1961' is strictly limited to 500 units only.
