This unusual and very amusing CD features the well matched Alberts, Temperance Seven, and the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. The song, "Ukelele Lady" stars Peter Sellers. Whereas some of the music is American, The Alberts proclaim, "it may be rubbish, but at least it's English rubbish". Songs are mainly from the 1920s. "On her doorstep last night" also appears on the Music of the 20th Century CD performed there by Jack Payne and his Band (1929). It's a real shame that the Bono Dog Band cannot sing without reference to LSD and the like. "You're driving me crazy was a 1960's number one for the Temperance Seven.

For a very brief while, back in the very early '60s, there was a revival of '20s music. It would come to the public's attention in a big way with the song "Winchester Cathedral", but before that there was the Temperance Seven. A British aggregation that loved reproducing the feel and sound of '20s dance bands, they seemed to have stepped right out of a time machine.

This was their only American Lp release and disappeared into the twisting mayhem that was US pop culture in 1962. If you like the Bonzos, Leon Redbone, and even Ian Whitcomb, you'll dig these goofy tracks from the era of flappers and singers with megaphones.
