Description

THE STRANGE WORLD OF GURNEY SLADE (TV - 1960)) Music MAX HARRIS   The following, taken from a comment on the IMDB site,espresses what this iconic show was about much better than I can. So I quote it verbatim, with appreciation.Side two   "A pioneering comedy series, postmodernist before there was such a thing, and a wonderful demonstration of Anthony Newley's genius in the art of self-mockery.

The Newley character, playing the lead in a ghastly domestic soap opera, suddenly walks off the set in disgust, but to his horror finds he can't escape the cameras.

A slight, pathetic figure in a shabby raincoat, he wanders about London - seen and unseen - talking to himself, a dog, a dustbin, dancing with a girl who's come down from an advertising poster... He's looking for some answers, but finds the world is surreal, absurd, trivial and bewildering. Like Alice.

The theme tune - wistful but jaunty - (which Newley summons up with a piano-playing action of the hand) - expresses his character unforgettably.

The series probably altered the history of comedy, and forty years on we still get allusions to it in advertisements."   Side two is another theme from the same show, called 'HAT AND CANE'.  Composer MAX HARRIS with his Group conducts on both these GURNEY SLADE sides.   For a taste of Anthony Newley in 'GURNEY SLADE" go to  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGZe3j1oJqs   The British recording was released in the U.S.A. on the ATCO label, a subsidiary of ATLANTIC. Record number ATCO 6187. Other than a sticker on both labels it is in NEAR MINT condition.   SHIPPING COST:                    U.S.A. / CANADA  $3.00                                         INTERNATIONAL   $5.00 (AIR)
