Max Miller
Confessions of a Cheeky Chappie (VAR5)

Max Miller was one the top Variety comedians of the 1930s and 1940s. Whilst there have been a number of re-issues of Max Miller's live performances which he recorded for HMV around the time of World War II, it is not intended to repeat these here. Lesser known are his studio recordings, which Max made for Rex and later HMV during the 1930s. Whilst missing the immediate audience reaction of the live recordings, these tracks allow us to listen to a number of different sides of Max's stage personality. The songs and patter, written almost entirely by Max himself, epitomise the "Cheeky Chappie."

Track Listing

Max the Auctioneer (Parts 1 & 2)

The woman improver
Mary from the Dairy
Ophelia
Down in the valley
Backscratcher
Impshe
Why should the dustman get it all?
You can't blame me
Weeping willow
You can't go away like that
The old oak tree
Put it down
The windmill
La-de-da
I never thought that she'd do that to me
Let's all have a charabanc ride
Annie the farmer's daughter
She said she wouldn't
I'm the only bit of comfort that she's got
The girls who work where I work
She'll never be the same again
