| soultwinz SUBS 25th Jan 2014 | Images are of the second press, on the first press, the writing on the outside above the Decca logo is missing | |
| Whyperion SUBS 1st Feb 2013 | Apparently the Orchestral Accompaniment Is Jack Hylton's Band. Songfacts Chinese Laundry Blues" was Formby's signature tune, and the first of his "Mr Wu" songs. In the 1974 biography by Alan Randall and Ray Seaton, its genesis is given. Songwriter John Cotterill is said to have visited Formby in his dressing room when the future star was playing in Mother Goose, and picked out a tune on one of his ukuleles. John Cotterill was actually Jack Cottrell, and according to Dennis Taylor, President of the George Formby Society, Formby turned down the song initially, but when he was given the chance to record a song with Jack Hylton- he chose "Chinese Laundry Blues" as the B Side of "Doh Di Oh Doh"; the song was initially called "Chinese Blues", and its hero is a lovesick Chinese laundry worker in Limehouse, a dockside area of London which had a large Chinese population at this time. But I have also heard words to effect that the lyrics were sent in the post to George , and after release he wrote to Cotterill , Absolutly Full of Inuendo and quite inappropriate- Got Any More ? Probably from Frank Skinner on George Formby (2011 ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ-7bYFmM18 but might have been a BBC Radio 2 Stuart Macconie tribute. | |
