ON THE BLACK AND GOLD PARLOPHONE LABEL WITH TONY OSBORNE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
Biography
She was born in Hungary to professional musician parents who toured worldwide. Educated in Switzerland, she studied piano before joining her parents on tour as The Three Hugos. When World War II was declared, the family left England with the Boswell Circus. She married, and as Eve Boswell became a popular singing star in South Africa.
In 1949, she was heard by bandleader Geraldo (Gerald Bright), who persuaded her to return to the United Kingdom as a singer in his band, which was widely heard on BBC Radio. Boswell parted with Geraldo in 1952, and launched a solo career. Her first hit record came that year with "Sugar Bush", partly sung in Afrikaans. She appeared in the Royal Variety Performance and toured widely with comedian Derek Roy, before getting her own radio show in 1954.
Her major chart hit came with "Pickin' a Chicken", a South African tune with new words, which rose to No 9 on the UK Singles Chart[1] at the start of 1956. Her first LP, Sugar and Spice, on which she sang 10 songs in nine different languages, followed later in the year. A continuous programme of radio work and tours followed, leading to more than one mental breakdown.
She faded from public view as public tastes for pop music changed through the late 1950s and 1960s, eventually returning to live in South Africa.

THIS LP PLAYS WITH NO HISS, OR BACKGROUND NOISE, BOTH SIDES LOOKS AS NEW WHICH IS NOT BAD AT ALL FOR IT'S AGE.

THE COVER STILL HAS IT'S ORGINAL LAMINATE, WITH A BIT OF PEELING ON THE OPENING EDGE OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS NO PEN MARKS OR TEARS ANYWHERE. A VERY NICE ALBUM FROM THIS GREAT FEMALE VOCALIST .

I have a very good reputation and my clientel is all over the u.k and europe. i have a wide and varied collection and now wish to dispose of a vast amount of them, that i have collected over the past 45 yrs . As i am selling my house and downsizing to a smaller property and will not be able to accommodate my vast collection of vinyl and cds .
My customers that i have sold to in the past in the record collector have come back to me time after time.
