To his surprise, the song became a huge international hit, rising to #1 in the United States.
When Stephens received several requests for The New Vaudeville Band to tour he had to put together a group, since the song was recorded by studio musicians hired only for the recording session. He contacted a real group, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, which played similar music at the time. Only Bob Kerr from that group was interested, so he left The Bonzos to help Stephens form a touring version of The New Vaudeville Band. The lead singer of the touring version of the group was Alan Klein, who was billed as 'Tristram—Seventh Earl Of Cricklewood'. The group enjoyed success for two years until the novelty wore off. Kerr then formed his own group, Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band, which continues to perform.
In 1967, The New Vaudeville Band released the Finchley Central LP.

@lordjohndebrusch3597
Seriously, has there ever been a more ‘romantic’ song of any genre? What a production!
@indy_go_blue6048
My dad used to sing this song to my sister. Unfortunately he died shortly before the NVB made its appearance; he would've loved them (my mom sure did.) I adore 20s-40s music thanks to my parents.
@lordjohndebrusch3597
My dad loved this, and stole the album from me in 1967! Well, he did say he was taking it, as he put it in his locked closet where he kept the components of that particular stereo system. There were at least five stereo systems in that house, in different rooms. He was a trend setter in that respect. He knew his music, stereos was his hobby. He used to repair, and build them, including the speaker cabinets. This is my favorite NVB recording (and I’ve been to Winchester Cathedral).

geweldig met een beetje zeegang

Fairly new to vinyl collecting (certainly old enough to have lived in the vinyl heyday... or thereabouts... lol) Just wondering if you could give me a little advice on an semi entry level direct-drive turntable? Enjoy your thrift store variety show along with the computer stuff.. I grew up at the end of the Commodore64..
