Vivian Ellis and A P Herbert’s final musical, seen in London in 1955, was a pastoral hymn to the canal boats and the families that lived on them. The original cast recording starring Dora Bryan, Laurie Payne and Pamela Charles if here joined by the lush cover version directed by Cyril Ornadel, with a stellar cast headed by Joan Sims, Vanessa Lee and Bruce Trent. The bonus tracks feature another British comedienne, Cicely Courtneidge.

With: Dora Bryan, Laurie Payne, Pamela Charles, Joan Sims, Vanessa Lee
