MORE SONGS WE SANG Songs from the New Zealand Services presented by Les Cleveland and the ‘D-Day Dodgers’. The best thing about this ‘party piece’ (for who could seriously absorb it) is the smooth sextet playing the background accompaniment. The singers themselves have adopted what I assume is the peculiar ‘Kiwi’ Accent, and the virulently odious fill-in commentary between songs is enough in itself to have turned Rommel back from El Alamein. I imagine this recording will revive plenty of memories for ex-servicemen, perhaps not of the comradeship, fear, or victories. but of some of the clots they were unfortunate enough to serve with. Of interest to the Maori, the Maori Battalion marching song as presented here, has all the virility and feeling of an amiable stroll to the wash-room. This record is strictly for bachelor Diggers.
