Sleeve notes for Tony Hancock - The Publicity Photograph - (NEP 24170)
Mr. Hancock's performance has been described by some critics as the epitomisation of the struggles, frustrations and disillusionments of a romantic in a materialistic society. It has been described by other critics as the epitomisation of the struggles, frustrations and disillusionments of a materialist in a romantic society. Mr. Sidney James, on the other hand, describes him as 'a bit of a twit' which is as good a definition as any. Mr. Hancock is noted as a man who continually lives above his income, which he has to do in order not to starve. His closest friend and associate is the aforementioned Mr. Sidney James. Mr. James is a man of no fixed abode except for significant periods of six months and fourteen days, depending on the condition of the internal digestive organs of the local magistrate. When cornered, he will describe his occupation as a scrap metal merchant, which profession has necessitated three new roofs being put on the local church in the last four years. This record portrays part of the world of Tony Hancock. Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here.
