Victoria Wood songs -

[shivvy]

I would love to buy a cd or dvd of Victoria wood performing her songs but can't seem to find where to buy them.
Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

She has just been on the South bank show on ITV1. Did you watch it?

Victoria Wood has released a cd entitled
Real Life - the Songs
also several songs can be found on iTunes
some others cds with sketches and songs are available - try amazon or bbc
some songs/sketches can also be found on youtube

Thanks but it is only her songs that I am after.

I just caught the end of the South Bank show - I think she is great.

Thanks for the name of the CD Fibonacci but I can only find it on amazon and it is 36 quid!

Plenty on Youtube:

You could download/convert them to .mp3 files using a free converter such as this:

Thanks snags but it is a CD or DVD I am after.

Careful with that CD - it's a studio recording (ie. no live audience) - always a mistake with comedy as the songs just fall completely flat. There was an early album (vinyl only I believe) called Lucky Bag which is excellent if dated.

Thanks quizmonkey. There was no way I was going to pay 35 quid for it anyhow.
I can't believe that what I am after isnt available. I'm sure it would be popular amongst her fans.

Not checked the links but there seems to be plenty of choice ?

Don't you love totally unhelpful posts? Those Google links are to BBC audio content - of shows, not song collections. Leave it to people who know what they're talking about!

[Old_Geezer]

No, I neither like totally unhelpful posts, nor sarcastic ones from trolls with nothing better to do.

After a few minutes only of looking at the google link I come across this - I used left as I presently read the page..

12 of the 18 tracks are songs. The rest is stand up and character monologues. The 12 songs featured on here are really rare and this is the only album you'll ever get chance to here songs like Fourteen Again, Northerners and Don't Do It. Once downloaded you can import the mp3's into itunes and burn onto a cd. This was originally only released on cassette and vinyl and features some brilliant songs.

As for Real Life The songs released in 1997, like someone else said, these are studio recordings so there's no audience. I do have a copy of this on cd though, and it still sounds okay without an audience laughing.
