Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport

WHAT a pleasant change his LP makes. It is alive with original ideas. great sounds and above all ...variety, From Perth, Western Australia, bearded Rolf Harris is one of the most versatile entertainers "Down Under" has produced, Rolf is well known for his originality, and has produced some of the weirdest noises on record. "TIE ME KANGAROO DOWN SPORT" was his first big success, In this number, Rolf introduced his own invention … the "wobble board" ... which emits the eerie background rhythm which helped to make this a smash hit. Rolf has written a number of songs with an Australian flavour. "SUN ARISE", based on an Australian aboriginal chant and featuring a didgeridoo sound, won him a "SILVER DISC" for more than a quarter-million sales as a single release. The fourteen titles included in this album demonstrate Rolf's incredible versatility. The sparkling drive of "BIG BLACK HAT" and "LIVING IT UP" contrast effectively with the beautiful lullaby "CARRA BARRA WIRRA CANNA", and Rolf's sense of the ridiculous is demonstrated in "HAIR OIL ON MY EARS". In "MIGHTY THUNDERER" Rolf has the trick of using his voice several times by means of over-dubbing which was so successful in "SUN ARISE". Incidentally -all these sounds are made by Rolf himself. He plays the accordion on "BIG BLACK HAT" as well as "wobble board" on other items. Also included is -Rolf's latest "hIt single "I KNOW A MAN" which spotlights the versatile artist with an R & B style. Besides being a recording star, Rolf has made more than 800 TV appearances in the UK, Australia and Canada, both as a children's entertainer and in his own and other adult shows. Originally intending to spend a mere two weeks in Canada en route to England, his popularity here was such that he stayed for eighteen months. He is also a brilliant artist, lino cutter, cartoonist and a former school teacher and swimming champion. Some character Rolf Harris!
