Rolf's 1969 release of "Two Little Boys" which is a song about the American Cicil War and written in 1902 is simply brilliant and alone justifies the whole purchase price of this 18 track CD.
It is a difficult track to get hold of on other Rolf Harris CDs and quite rare to find on general 1960s compilation CDs.
It was only recently that Rolf discovered a real personal poignancy to the song because the story bears such a resemblance to the WWI experiences of his father Crom and his beloved younger brother Carl, who died at the age of 19 after being wounded in battle in France in 1918.
"If I Were A Rich Man" is an excellent version of the famous song from the Film/Play Fiddler On The Roof.
"Waltzing Matilda", "Jake The Peg" and "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" are also nice tracks to have in your music collection.
This is a desirable CD to have in my opinion and one that you will play and will defintely want to rip at least 2 or 3 tracks to other music media players that you may have.
Full list of tracks:
1. Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport 2. Sun Arise 3. Johnny Day 4. Bluer Than Blue 5. Two Little Boys 6. Jake The Peg 7. Hurry Home 8. Big Dog 9. Six White Boomers 10. Wild Colonial Boy 11. Carra Barra Wirra Canna 12. Nick Teen And K Hall 13. Wild Rover 14. Ram Sam Sam 15. Pukka Chicken 16. Figian Girl 17. Turkey Strut 18. If I Were A Rich Man 19. Waltzing Matilda
