The Fivepenny Piece
EMI
One Up 2050
Release
Date: October 1974
This
was the first The Fivepenny Piece LP to be issued
on EMI's One-Up label, and the band's first
live album. It was recorded at the band's "home",
the Broad Oak Hotel in Ashton-under-Lyne.
The set gives a good impression of what the
band's live shows must have been like, and as
expected, they put on a good evening's entertainment
for the punters.
As
with the studio albums, the set contains a variety
of material, this time with their Lancashire
humour well to the fore, including a couple
of monologues for good measure. The set also
includes a couple of covers - Tim Hardin's
well-known If I Were A Carpenter;
and Alex Glasgow's humorous Keep
Yer 'And On Yer 'Alfpenny (which incidentally
was also recorded by West Country heroes The
Wurzels who still include it in their stage
act today). The album also includes the beautiful
Radcliffe-Meeks song Brown Photographs.
