This album of Australian aboriginal "music" (and I use the term very loosely) is good for about 5 minutes at a time. There are women's chants, men's chant, chants about ground wasps, a mouth-organ, Duralko aka the Home Of the dead, and Santa Claus and aluminum foil crafts for all I can tell. When you've heard one, you've heard them all. I hear there's an "all-aboriginal, all-the-time" radio station...I suspect they just play this record over & over & no one knows the difference. Well, just kidding. sorta. Corroboree! Hi fi dances, chants & songs by native Australian aboriginals, Capitol, Capitol of the World series, T10037. A few years ago, I came across a stash of a dozen or so Tahitian albums at Salvation army, all 1970s...these are pictures of a few of them. Love the necklace action on this one... A while back, I posted a number of the colorful 49th State Hawaii Record Company covers. Most of their output was, naturally, Hawaiian, but they delved into the Far Eastern Cha Cha market with several Japanese releases and THIS rarity Singapore by the Malayan Select Orchestra. My good Singaporean friend wretches violently when exposed to the music on this record. He says this is exactly what seedy old men listen to in the old bars back home. Sounds good to me. I would subtitle this album "Wanna buy me drinkie?"
