Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I'm desperate to lay my hands on an important work by Cilla from the 1990's called Cilla's World. Of course, Cilla being yonks ahead of her time produced an album based on green issues. Some of the tracks include

"Don't Argue with an elephant"
"Please Don't Call Me a Koala Bear"
"Let's Hear it for Skin"

It included her magnum opus, "Panda" which opens with the lines

"Take a gander, at a panda, if you see one at the zoo.
They come all they way from China and only eat bamboo"

You will notice her daring rhymes in both the first line and between the couplets, something no one has attempted since The Wasteland.

If you do have a copy on 78's (the only speed my gramophone can deal with) please get in contact. I am willing to pay up to five pounds.

Hugs

Hi Claire,
Afraid I do not have a copy of the aforementioned concept album - although sounds amazing!
I did however find, whilst rummaging around my particulars the other night (nothing good on the telly since Miss Diane left Crossroads) Cilla's often trumpeted but rarely seen duet with legendary trumpeter Phil McCrevice. It's yours for half a mild and a packet of capstan full strength.
Love
Al

Good luck with finding an album released in 1990 on 78s, but :http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cillas-World/dp/B000024BCX/ref=ntt_mus_ep_d...
