To ask if anyone has a copy of "Captain Beaky and his Band" on CD?

[GrainOfSalt]

Does anyone have a copy of "Captain Beaky and his band" (volume 1) on CD that they would like to SELL to me? (This is not a begging letter) I can't find a copy through any of the usual channels and it would make my DS's Christmas.

(I have the book and sing the songs out of that but I'm never going to make Britain's got Talent)

I also might be able to do you a tape if we still have the record...

Ah cross post!

Here they are, front and back complete with crack. Not great pictures, but an idea.

I find it so difficult to pick a favourite. Love Fred the sparrow, Kenny the Koala and Stanley the Stork. And Jock the circus flea in his 'silver spangled drawers' is such a great image

If you get mp3 jam and search captain becky it pulls loads - you can download direct to your pc - 3 free every 15 mins one play list has captain becky, trial of hissing side, the ginger cat, my best friend and Harold the frog ?

Oh WOW! The power of Mumsnet!!

FrenchDucks I would love to take up your offer I will PM you.

Dappled Things I have PM'd you and am going to PM you again.

And thank you too to Peanut Ginpig and Doublegloucester for your great offers of copies and everyone else for the links and advice

"Doo do do do do do do doooooo do dododo do doooooo"

Have replied to youGrain, very happy to pass them on and hope your son enjoys those songs like I have.

My parents have it on vinyl. That doesn't help.

Such wonderful childhood memories.

A firm favourite of mine - fond memories!

Natty Tile....you've made my night.

This thread has made me smile!

My friend used to have a budgie called captain beaky. I suspect he was not the first or the last!

I have PM'd you again FrenchDucks

Thank you again everyone for all the kind offers (now get out those LP's and get listening

Couldn't agree more, remember when they put on a pantomime?!

Ummmm. We have the CD & the lyrics books... & the LP. Much loved in this house!

Well that's me singing tunelessly to myself for the rest of the night then

/off through the woodland signing songs that tell how they have righted wrongs,

Singing dammit

LOVE it

Wow!! I had this in my house as a child and must have forgotten all about it until now. Just started singing it and remembered words. Can't remember what day it is most of the time...

Timid Toad, reckless rat and above the trees flew batty bat..

Aww, thanks for the flashback OP

An album, why did nobody ever tell me there was an album? Obviously I have the single, on vinyl. I'm not an animal.

I can remember all the words to Enrico the Canary..

They did a revival at the Royal Albert Hall a couple of years ago and I went to that - it was awesome. It was narrated by all sorts of people, so lovely to hear it in a live setting! 🤗

Well, that was a blast from the past! I shall have to listen to it more often!

Almost a year to the day that Keith Michell died, so rather appropriate thread. I adored both the original single and the follow up (The Trial of Hissing Side) when I was knee high to a grasshopper and used to spend all my time singing them for everyone (whether they wanted to hear them or not). It was amazing just how huge Captain Beaky a thing was at the time and seeing "Hissing Sid is Innocent" graffiti on motorway bridges and the like. Happy, much more innocent, days!

They did one in Ludlow I think last year with live orchestra and actors

FrenchDucks many many thanks, the CDs arrived this morning and Christmas . You are a Thank you so much - unmumsnetty hugs and kisses xxxx
