Tim Hart & Friends, Drunken Sailor and other Kid's Songs, LP UK Music For Pleasure Limited 1983 - MFP4156351

Second album dedicated to children that will flow into the double album “Favourite Childrens Songs” two years later. Produced and arranged by Tim Hart, the album was recorded (with Jerry Boys) and mixed by Dave Bascombe at Linvingston Studios in London. Also in this case many musicians help Tim Hart in this album, starting with Maddy Prior, Rick Kemp and Davy Spillane. The cover photo is as funny as it is anonymous.

Secondo album dedicato ai bambini che confluirà due anni dopo nel doppio “Favourite Childrens Songs”. Prodotto e arrangiato da Tim Hart, l'album è stato registrato (insieme a Jerry Boys) e mixato da Dave Bascombe ai Linvingston Studios di Londra. Anche in questo caso molti sono i musicisti che aiutano Tim Hart in questo disco, a cominciare da Maddy Prior, Rick Kemp e Davy Spillane. Divertente quanto anonima la foto di copertina.
