  • Description

    Sings Doom is an anthology of George Melly single A & B sides, both solo and with The Mick Mulligan Band, recorded between 1955 and 1962.



    Our presentation includes the excessively rare Melly EP's, ''George Melly Sings Doom'', ''Nothing Personal - George Melly Sings The Blues'' and ''Abdul Abulbul Amir : George Melly Sings Songs Of Frank Crumit''.



    ''George Melly Sings Doom'' may be seen as a soundtrack / companion piece to Melly''s supremely entertaining first volume of autobiography, Owning-Up, a loving evocation of the hedonist jazz scene of 1950s Britain.
