Our Take

Step aside, bangers and mash, because the real British queen has arrived. Vera Lynn's Collection 1936-62 is a delightful trip down memory lane, filled with vintage charm and timeless elegance. From the hauntingly beautiful "We'll Meet Again" to the toe-tapping "White Cliffs of Dover," Vera Lynn's voice is a warm hug on a rainy London day.

Listening to this collection is like sipping tea with the Queen herself, as Lynn's voice transports you to another era, where love was pure and war was a distant memory. Her vocal delivery is as smooth as buttered crumpets, effortlessly gliding over each note with grace and poise.

But don't be fooled by her sweet exterior - Lynn's music packs a powerful punch, with songs like "The Homing Waltz" and "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" showcasing her range and emotional depth. This album is a true testament to Vera Lynn's status as a national treasure, and it's no wonder she was dubbed the "Forces' Sweetheart."

So grab a cuppa, put on your best vintage outfit, and let Vera Lynn serenade you into a world of nostalgia and glamour. This collection is a must-have for any music lover, and a reminder that true talent never goes out of style. Cheers to the one and only Vera Lynn - long may she reign.
