Tom Dooley (BBC 1962-1963)

This brand new tape replaced Noel en Irlande in April 1962 and was replaced by Binokel in March 1963 but the first track sounds very different to the version later used at the very end of the BBC2 tape Belle Canon in 1979. This clip includes the following tracks: 1. Tom Dooley; 2. La Servant Du Chatteau; 3. Ciao Ciao Bambino; 4. Baion Serenade. Enjoy this rather classic tape!!!!

Had Lonnie Donegan singing this on a Pye "Golden Hour" LP in the early seventies.

A version of Tom Dooley also featured at the end of BELLE CANON in 1979.

If you had told me someone had adapted "Tom Dooley" as testcard music I would have guessed it would have sounded unintentionally funny..but, surprise! is sounds pretty good (I won't be deleting the Kingston Trio's version from my collection, however :-)

Baion Serenade and the "cha-cha" track after it did indeed appear on the older "Morro Morenito" tape (1959-1961).

Remember this well - takes me back more than 40 years. Baion Serenade (and the piece that followed, a cha-cha I think) first appeared on another tape a couple of years earlier, with others in the same rhythm. Have you anything from 1957-59?
