Synopsis

Album Description

Rolf Harris, the Australian renaissance man, remains completely misunderstood. Sure, he scored a massive worldwide hit in the early '60s with 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport' and yes, he dresses quite silly. And perhaps he is a bit too affable, but the man is talented! He's an excellent painter, he's recorded his own albums as well as being featured on albums by 'cool' people (he played didgeridoo for Kate Bush) and he pretty much invented the stylophone. In essence, Rolf Harris deserves your respect even if he won't demand it himself! This 23 track collection features the best of 30+ years of recordings starting with 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport' up through his cover of Zeppelin's 'Stairway To Heaven'. You can't go wrong with a song called 'Nick Teen & Al K. Hall'. EMI.

CD Reviews

It is the Best of Rolf Harris

Tim Gabriel | Western PA, USA | 08/07/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"You might be familiar with the songs of Rolf Harris or maybe many years ago you heard the song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" and that brought you to this CD. Either way you will most certainly enjoy this collection of his songs. I didn't realize how talented he is and how much joy his songs bring until I added this CD to my collection. It brought back a lot of memories. Enjoy."

Classic Rolf

Neil Fairall | Massachusetts | 07/15/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is for British expats who grew up listening to Rolf Harris. My only problem is the leaving out of "Two Little Boys", otherwise terrific. I bought this thinking my daughter (currently eight months) would enjoy it one day, but I find myself putting it on in the car on the way to work and singing along to "The Court of King Caractacus" or "Sun Arise". I love the sound of wobble boards in the morning..."

Nostalgic memories

"What wonderful memories this great digitally remastered CD brought back to me. My old LP's/ "records" and awesome & funny talent of Rolf Harris' music. What do kids get when they're 3-5 nowdays that's anything like this?"
