CHILDREN'S CLASSIC 78 FROM ANN STEPHENS ON UK HMV LABEL
CHRISTOPHER ROBIN
b/w BUCKINGHAM PALACE
Born in 1931, and educated at La Sargasse Convent, Ann started in records at the age of only nine when she won the audition arranged by HMV to star in their 1941 recording of Alice in Wonderland. It must have been quite an experience for a young girl to appear alongside such household names as Florence Desmond and Robertson Hare. The four sides were issued on HMV C3243/4. Alice Through the Looking Glass followed on C3245.
After that, Ann made a number of successful recordings listed in the HMV catalogue as 'Children's Recordings' on the BD label. Interesting is her effort as Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz selections (BD1228). She recorded a number of Disney songs and a series of 8 records titled "Ann Stephens' Nursery Rhymes" including the best selling Buckingham Palace (BD973) and Teddy Bears' Picnic (BD1090)
