Includes The Taximeter Car, John John Put Your Trousers On, The Kangaroo Hop, I Must Go Home Tonight and When Father Papered the Parlour. Includes an informative 24 page illustrated booklet.

Press Quotes

“This compact disc deserves a warm welcome. Perhaps it might serve to introduce Billy Williams to a new generation of collectors and if so it will no doubt have performed an extremely useful function. Buy it!”
