A friend was round the other day and he paid me out for having this album - ‘A Swingin’ Safari’. He couldn’t help it, the A Swingin’ Safari beckoned him and he put it on the turntable and he actually liked it.

If you’re feeling a bit sad and lonely I would recommend dragging this album out of your record collection, putting it on. I reckon you will be tapping your feet while you’re listening to this

If you don’t believe me, visit your local op-shop and I’ll bet they have a copy you can purchase. Don’t know if it exists on CD, but surely if you don’t have a turntable someone you know must have and they will play it for you, or there’s modern technology where you can burn CDs from records.

Go on, I dare you.
