Album ZA on Columbia label
World (Vocal)
'Made in England' (on both labels). The record was recorded and manufactured in England (like most Chris Blignaut records) for the South African market. The orchestra giving the musical accompanyment is not indicated. The labels on both sides just have the wording 'Met Orkesbegeleiding'. The composer of 'Ou Ryperd' is not indicated. The lyrics of the song are, however, written on the tune of the American composition 'Old Faithful'; which was composed by Eddy Arnold and popularised by Gene Autry. Chris A Blignaut wrote the Afrikaans lyrics. The writer of the song 'Jan Asseblief Tog Squeese My' is not indicated, but it was composed by Danie Bosman who was a prolific composer / writer of Afrikaans songs - many of a humorous nature. 'Ou Ryperd' was Chris Blignaut's favourite song and is one of South Africa's most popular Folk songs. It has been recorded by several other artists such as 'Die Grafsteensangers' and 'Dozi.'
