About
While this Original Cast recording of The Boy Friend features the two-pianos-plus-rhythm accompaniment used in the theatre, The London Orchestra also provides its own overture to this reissue, with full, rich orchestral versions of five of the best–known songs from the score.
ulian Slade had a smash hit with Salad Days when he was only 24, and nothing he wrote in the ensuing years came anywhere near achieving the same sort of popularity. Twelve of the show’s songs are heard here, both in their original form performed by a talented cast that includes Eleanor Drew, John Warner and James Cairncross, and in Slade’s own two-piano versions with (probably) Arthur Sanford and an unnamed drummer.
