RECORDINGS |
| An early Australian recording star who seems largely unknown in his own country. Not entirely true; a compilation CD was released in 1989 of sonically restored versions of many of his popular songs. | |
|
This compilation is still available, and for the enthusiast it is a "must-have"! The 23 songs are taken from discs, but Billy Williams could be aptly described as a prolific artist...I've seen him on just about every early label for cylinder and disc. (I even have a Pathe' centre-start disc of him...)
|
|
| The material covered by him is a distant echo of our past, but even today is fun to listen to. More biographical details can be found at Daniel Nixon's excellent Cylinders 101 site, on the Billy Williams pages. Included on Daniel's site is a cylinder discography. | |
