Customer Reviews

Womblingly brilliant
I've little to add to the excellent reviews already given for this album. This is a super cd, full of fun brilliantly composed happy songs that will not fail to make you or your little ones smile, or giggle hysterically as you dance around the living room with them. I've yet to find a childrens album that tops it.

Great fun!
I actually came across some Wombles songs on 'You Tube' so I thought I'd see what was on Amazon and came across this album. Wow! Musically this is brilliant with a variety of styles, humour and basically fantastic fun. I've always had a high regard for Mike Batt and the musicians he surrounds himself with but after this listening to this I regard him even higher. Oddly enough I appreciate this much more at my age (48...) than I did when these songs were originally released. Well worth listening to, well well toe-tapping to and well worth enjoying. Thanks to all responsible for this release, whoever you are.

A THOUSAND ARMOURED TRASH COLLECTORS
I can't agree more with the first reviewer Sordel's summary of the Wombles band. I'd also like to add that it's rare that you get something so first-rate and quality as the range of music styles, humour, satire and magnitude written for kids these days. Personally, I was first introduced to it in the late seventies as a child when my older brother played it interminably. I grew up with such soundtracks as "The Myths and Legends of King Merton Womble" and "Wombling White Tie and Tails" entwined with my early childhood consciousness and appreciation of music. Largely due to this album, I felt very comfortable with different types of music from a very early age. When I bought it off Amazon recently, I expected a pleasant and humorous trip down memory lane, but I was mistaken. It blew my head off! Quite apart from the childhood connections that opened up again when I listened to the well-remembered tracks, it is an absolute cornucopia of musical variety, written and performed with panache and a huge dose of humour. The epic-sounding "A thousand armoured trash collectors glistening in the sun!" sung across heraldic trumpets really takes some beating!
