Album notes
Brassbound is the second album by Sussex-based Britpop revivalists The Ordinary Boys. Whereas their debut album was a concentrated burst of Jam-esque energy, their sophomore effort throws elements of 2-tone ska and lovers rock reggae into the mix, making for a more varied sound but losing none of the band's trademark energy and vigour. Includes the single "Boys Will Be Boys", and a cover of Locomotive's "Rudi's In Love".
In 1898, he married an Irish heiress, Charlotte Payne-Townshend, and his first successful play, Candida, was produced in the same year.
He followed this up with a series of classic comedy-dramas, including The Devil's Disciple (1897), Arms and the Man (1898), Mrs Warren's Profession (1898), Captain Brassbound's Conversion (1900), Man and Superman[?] (1902), Caesar and Cleopatra[?] (1901), Major Barbara (1905), Androcles and the Lion (1912), and Pygmalion (1913).
After World War I, on which he took a controversial stance, he produced more serious dramas, including Heartbreak House (1919) and Saint Joan[?] (1923).
In 1897 The Devil’s Disciple, a play on the American Revolution, was produced with great success in New York City.
It was published in the volume Three Plays for Puritans (1901) along with Caesar and Cleopatra (1899), notable for its realistic, humorous portraits of historical figures, and Captain Brassbound’s Conversion (1900).
The latter has proved to be Shaw’s most successful work—as a play, as a motion picture, and as the basis for the musical and film My Fair Lady (1956; 1964).
