Background: George Grossmith was one of Britain's top music hall artists at the turn of the 20th century, and also successfully toured the American vaudeville theatres. His comic songs range widely in style and many came from shows and revues which enjoyed great success.

Leon Berger and Selwyn Tillett, acknowledged authorities on Grossmith and his music, have re-created them wonderfully in period style.

'This interesting disc gathers his most famous songs. It's unfortunate that Grossmith never made any recordings (although enough of his contemporaries have so that we have a good idea of what his style would have been like, even if we are deprived of what was certainly a unique genius). Certainly it must have been that personality that made these songs successful in the theater, since in these perfectly decent performances there's nothing remarkable about them - they are merely respectable examples of their genre. But this is a genre that has many admirers who will undoubtedly be grateful for this unusual release' - James Camner Fanfare
