Johnny Standley 'It's In The Book' 1952 78 rpm

[@ClipontheEar]

We got this along with a stack of 78 rpm records from a charity store when I was about 10 years old, which makes it 1960.
My brother and I played this endlessly without understanding a word of it. Kids did that then.

Remember this well... 'It's in the book' was a familiar quote
in my family..

[@garymoulston8443]

I remember this when I was a kid, now I know were my father got some his sayings,(1921 to 2014). It brings back beautiful memories of my father

[@frednutz1604]

My dad had this on original 78rpm back when I was a kid, 55+yrs ago.
It was hilarious then as it is now.
Part 1 was the A side & part B on the flip side.

I always worry about triggering memories with things like this ha ha

[@IVORIESMAN]

My folks had this record when I was knee high to a grasshopper - they would chuckle along but I used to get upset for poor old Bo Peep...

[@OldiesAl]

Another of my favourites from Junior Choice, Ed Stewart only ever played side 1, when I eventually heard 'Lye Soap' I understood why but after getting on for 50 years I still chuckle at 'Bo Peep'

@@OldiesAl ...when you analyse the words there is a certain logic in Johnny's interpretation.

[@loisrogers2511]

My Uncle Bill used to do the whole routine (and his timing was better). I love hearing it again. Fun times

[@GramophonicReevolution]

Never heard it before. Interesting 😁

[@OldiesAl]

For people of a certain age in the UK this was a commonly heard recording on Saturday mornings on Radio 2

[@GramophonicReevolution]

I am just slightly too young to remember junior choice :) I was part of the swap shop generation

[@OldiesAl]

You're not far off though Paul I sort of straddled the two

[@GramophonicReevolution]

Ha ha you are still older though and that counts and matters :) :) :) lol
