London
Town
was
filmed
at
Shepperton
Studios,
with
an
all-star
cast
led
by
comedian
Sid
Field
who
by
1945
was
the
toast
of
London's
West
End
having
starred
in
a
succession
of
highly
successful
wartime
variety
shows.
Fourteen
year
old
moppet
Petula
Clark,
already
a
popular
radio
and
variety
performer,
also
featured,
alongside
Norwegian
screen
siren
Greta
Gynt,
British
Variety
star
Tessie
O'Shea
(affectionately
known
as
Two
Ton
Tessie),
newcomer
Kay
Kendall
and
the
music
of
Ted
Heath.
British
songstress
Beryl
Davis
introduced
the
new
Burke/Van
Heusen
score,
which
included
"So
Would
I"
and
"My
Heart
Goes
Crazy",
as
both
herself
and
the
singing
voice
of
Kay
Kendall.
Much
of
the
comedy
material
featured
in
London
Town
is
drawn
from
Sid
Field's
West
End
wartime
variety
reviews.
"Strike
It
Again"
(Prince
of
Wales
Theatre
1944)
featured
the
golf
sketch
which
would
be
reprised
by
Field
in
London
Town
and
is
included
on
this
compilation
as
a
valuable
historical
record
of
1940's
British
Variety.
The
music
of
London
Town
was
originally
released
on
five
78rpm
gramophone
records
in
1946
and
holds
the
distinction
of
being
Britain's
first
motion
picture
soundtrack
album.
This
CD
marks
the
first
reissue
of
these
historic
recordings
and
the
60th
anniversary
of
one
of
the
milestones
of
British
cinema.
To
complement
the
London
Town
soundtrack
we
include
Greta
Gynt
performing
"Lady
Spiv"
(written
by
Vivian
Ellis)
which
she
sang
in
the
1948
British
film
Easy
Money,
and
Petula
Clark
performing
her
first
ever
commercial
recordings
which
she
recorded
for
the
Columbia
label
in
1949.
Tessie
O'Shea's
commercial
recording
of
"The
'Ampstead
Way"
is
also
included.
