==Recordings== {{Main|Songs and monologues of Stanley Holloway}} Holloway had a 54-year recording career, beginning in the age of [[acoustic recording]], and ending in the era of the [[Phonograph record#Stereophonic sound|stereophonic LP]]. He mainly recorded songs from musicals and revues, and he recited many monologues on various subjects.<ref name=epm/> Most prominent among his recordings (aside from his participation in recordings of ''My Fair Lady'') are those of three series of monologues that he made at intervals throughout his career. They featured Sam Small, Albert Ramsbottom, and historical events such as the [[Battle of Hastings]], [[Magna Carta]] and the [[Battle of Trafalgar]].<ref name=epm/> In all, his discography runs to 130 recordings, spanning the period 1924 to 1978.<ref>[http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3AHolloway%2C+Stanley.&qt=hot_author Stanley Holloway], recordings list at worldcat.org, accessed 14 September 2011</ref> A review in ''[[Gramophone (magazine)|The Gramophone]]'' of one of his 1957 albums containing recordings of his old "concert party" songs commented, "what a fine voice he has and how well he can use it β diction, phrasing, range and the interpretative insight of the artist".<ref>[http://www.gramophone.net/Issue/Page/October%201961/72/787431/ "Stanley Holloway.
