Title: Well written and performed, fun tunes!
Product review: The Wombles childrens' books spawned the British TV series and several albums,the best of which are collected on this CD. I'm from the U.S. and knew slightly of the Wombles, and had heard a couple of their songs; was delighted to find that this entire collection contained many well-written and performed, fun songs in a variety of styles. Not for kids only!In addition to pop tunes like "Remember You're A Womble", "Super Womble","Wombling Merry Christmas" and "Non Stop Wombling Summer Party", there aresalutes to blues ("Empty Tidy Bag Blues"), country ("Nashville Wombles"),and classical ("Minuetto Allegretto" and "Underground Overture") as well asnods to Western movies, James Bond, and old time movie stars like FredAstaire and Mae West. Mike Batt's songwriting is very catchy and thehigh-pitched Wombles doing background vocals are cute. Wish "Wombles Everywhere"had been included but that's all right; the album is well worth it.
