Tim Hart & Friends, Drunken Sailor and other Kis Songs

 

LP EMI Music For Pleasure 1983 (5635) e  LP EMI Music For Pleasure 1985 (DL 411 076 3) 

Secondo album dedicato ai bambini che confluirà due anni dopo nel doppio “Favourite Childrens Songs” (in alto a destra). Prodotto e arrangiato da Tim Hart, l'album è stato registrato (insieme a Jerry Boys) e mixato da Dave Bascombe ai Linvingsto 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.
