How awful - sounds so prussian. I prefer the Song of Australia as we used to sing it at school in the 1960ies. Australia, a nice place at that time. But okay, I don't live in Australia anymore. Europe seems a better place for me, not so americanized. When I look at the present skyline of Perth it gives me the shivers.
Joy of joys! My Aunt Gladys had this record and introduced me to it when I was about 10. Surprisingly, to her, I loved it. The record was broken and I thought I'd never hear it again. Thanks Gramophoneshane!
