Received my CD the other day and downloaded it onto the computer.
However, something very strange happened and just why I do not know.
In the listing track 18 - Everything Happens To Me, is shown as: 18 Everything Happenms To Me.
How that 'ms' is tagged on I just do not know.
I mentioned it to someone and they thought I was whinging, which I wasn't or not, but just a strange happening.

Yes, Richard, it was with iTunes.

Graham,

Bing in the Hall really is a wonderful CD, and I have listened to it a whole lot since I got it from the ICC's Wig Wiggins. I wrote a little review about it for my blog, The Vintage Bandstand, and also wrote a more extensive one for the Amazon U.S. website. You may read it here if you're interested (you need to scroll down a little bit):

Hopefully Sepia will see it fit to turn this into a full-blown series! 

Anton, congatulations on athoughtful and very readable review.

Sepia are not too keen on a volume 2 at the moment but they have not closed the door yet. The takeup of Bing in the Hall from ICC members was a little lower than usual and so far there are few sales outside the ICC of this one. Let's hope the Armed Forces CD sells better.

The imminent BING magazine will have an insert with the following information.

Bad news. Perhaps we all need to look for reasons to buy extra copies - extra Christms gifts for friends, perhaps? 

The most entertaining issue covering earlier radio material for a very long time.

The forthcoming Forces issue is extremely promising too.  
 

Armed Forces Cd looks excellent but I wish they would have included Bing's bit with Cagney-Command Performance 9/11/44.

Richard, I know it's a big task putting a CD like that together. I appreciate what they have done. I ordered the CD because I know I will LOVE it. Please don't misunderstand me. I mentioned that show so maybe it would be included on a future cd. But no complaints here, only praise.

Richard, I like your avatar. You resemble Buddy Ebson.
