Album AU 1975 on Hammard label
Spoken Word, Children's Music and Soundtrack (Comedy)
A laminated gatefold album. The cover has an intriguing optical effect where the title of the album seems to wobble like jelly when the cover is moved under orange room lighting. Many of these albums were bought for kids, so it's very hard to find one which is still in good order. Daryl had received many requests over the years for a CD version, but sadly the master tape has been lost, possibly due to the collapse of Hammard records. Ernie Carroll plays the part of Ossie. On the back of the album, it says: "Fantastic, Outstanding! Spectacular!... Just a few of the words we used to describe this monumental achievement captured here for all time. We congratulate the Hammard Recording Company on its foresight in recognising the incredible potential of this duo. Destined to be acclaimed as the greatest stars in the firmament of Australian entertainment. Daryl & Ossie" Written & Produced by Daryl Somers & Ernie Carroll Engineers: Bruce Adderley & Murray Tregonning Additional character voices: Daryl Somers & John Blackman.
