I picked up the Frank Crumit CD "The Song of the Prune" some time ago on Wigan market. The track listing is as follows: The Song Of The Prune Jack Is Every Inch A Sailor I'm Bettin' The Roll On Roamer Donald The Dub Abdul Abulbul Amir And Then He Took Up Golf Around The Corner Sissy Grandfather's Clock Would You Like To Take A Walk The Old Apple Tree I Can't Stand Sittin' In A Cell Sunday In The Park The Girl With The Paint On Her Face The Return Of Abdul Abulbul Amir A Gay Caballero Get Away Old Man Get Away Crazy Words Crazy Tune Ukelele Lady Thanks For The Buggy Ride The Girl Friend The Bride's Lament Mountain Greenery Billy Boy The CD catalogue No. is SWNCD 018, and the sleeve notes invite you to send for a free catalogue from: Soundsrite Music Wholesale, The Old Dairy, Charles Street, Droylsden, Manchester M43 6HD, tel. 0161 370 6908. Don't know if they've any other Frank Crumit CDs available, and also don't know whether they only deal with dealers, but it may be worthwhile contacting them for further details. I also picked up another album of his on cassette tape from the same stall, but can't lay my hands on it at the moment. I'd be interested in buying the songbook if it's available anywhere. Any further info on that?
