Notes

Each of the two discs is a separate album, one with only ukuleles and voices, the other with other instruments and voices. Each song appears on each of the two albums, in different arrangements, different keys, different tempo and with different vocalists. The effect is of listening to the "original" artsts and then a different album of cover versions by ukulele artists.

The "pop" disc is arranged as an audio trip round London in song and melody, moving sonically from city square to alley, from basement club to cathedral, from pub-rock and rollicking knees-up to haunting reminiscence of Eliot's Wasteland.
