Telling
Tales
5 Penny Piece
EMI
EMC 3183
Release
Date: 1977
Another
collection of songs in a wide range of styles
- the usual Lancashire humour (including a cracking
version of the old Gracie Fields number
Fred Fannakapan), pop (Butterflies
& Songbirds), nostalgia (Boozer's
Lament) and the curious Doctor
Duck And Sailor Sam, which sounds as
if it could be a children's song, or maybe has
some deeper meaning...?
The
album showed the band's name on the front cover
as 5 Penny Piece (with the numeric 5)
for the first time, in what seemed to be a kind
of logo to be used for the next few albums.
