A bit of nostalgia for lovers of British Comedy... The antics of the two co-dependent rag-and-bone men used to attract viewer audiences in the millions back in the sixties. That mixture of biting Cockney wit and pathos had a universal appeal. Music fans should note the theme and incidental music by Ron Grainer...
Interestingly, when I was looking online for a year for this album (1965) I noticed that second-hand copies at auction sites were asking around $60... I'm sure that 'Arold would be proud of me for picking it up for $8 from my friendly neighbourhood music store...

ps - lots of kind comments appearing - it's nice to know people are finding the blog for the first time and having a good trawl...
pps - someone asked me for a Clive Dunn album that I mentioned in passing in a previous post. Sorry guys, this blog is dedicated solely to rips of vinyls from my own collection. The album in Question originally came from the legendary XYZ Cosmonaut blog. Perhap a request on the new Cosmobells site my help...

Thanks Mr Snookles!
It's great to get a copy of this as trying to find an original vinyl copy is like trying to find a computer that works :)
Always loved the series and to this day, it's one of my all-time favourites.
Thanks....."You dirty old man!"

thanks for your blog. By the way, Steptoe and Son was the inspiration for the Sanford and Son television series here in the States.
thanks, I've had a scratcy old copy of this for ages in my dusty old vinyl pile. It's great to see it again and even better to be able to hear it in better quality.
