What is your first impression from these two DVDs advertised in the booklet that arrived through my letterbox?

Yep, same as me, probably the first one is 40s/50s and the second one possibly mid 70s, in fact you are right on the second one, a concert in Sheffield in 1976.

Visitors to my blog will know that Frankie is my favourite singer, yes, still got all of the old L Ps, I don't have a machine to play them on, anyway, in those days records didn't come with pictures.

I ordered them both at the same time but the second one, Frankie Laine Live arrived first, couldn't wait to play it, watched it over breakfast, I was delighted with it. This morning, yep, Frankie Laine in Concert was slipped through the letterbox, ripped of the film wrapper, God, that's hard to get of sometimes, bang it in to the DVD player, sit down with bowl of cornflakes, actually it was Oatibix, quite nice and said to be healthy, and watch a copy of the first DVD.

yes, same DVD, different packaging, maybe I have been conned, maybe I didn't read the catalogue properly.

Anyone want a Frankie Laine DVD?

An English doctor was visiting a Scottish hospital during WW1. At the end
of his visit he was shown a ward with a number of patients who had no
signs of obvious injury. He went to examine the first man who proclaimed:
"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the puddin' race!"
The English doctor, somewhat taken aback, moved on to the next patient who
immediately began, "Some hae meat and canna eat, and some wad eat that
want it. But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be thankit."
"Well," said the doctor to his Scottish colleague, "I see you saved the
psychiatric ward until last." "Nay, nay," the Scottish doctor corrected
him. "This is the Serious Burns Unit.".
