Comments

Wow, it's the swing version of Tubular Bells! Well, maybe not. The Charleston is especially funky though. Woodhenge - Someone bonging tubular bells in the middle of a wooden version of Stonehenge, shortly before it is demolished by woodpeckers. Into Wonderland (which is listed as 'Sally' on my copy, for reasons I won't go into here) is a rather nice track, Sally Oldfield's distinctive voice lending a rather nice quality up to the point where the pootling comes in. Punkadiddle is just plain weird, while I Got Rhythm is a pretty decent cover.
