THIS COLLECTION is very much a work in progress the end purpose being to provide a complete George Formby song-book complete with chords and MP3 files of George's original sound recordings. George Formby's recording career spanned about 35 years, starting in the mid 1920s with his last recording made in 1961, a time frame which places most of his recordings in the public domain, under EU law anyway- see this page for more info on sound recording copyright.
