Anita Harris - Anita In Jumbleland 1970 [Expanded Edition] (2015)

UK pressing, the first time ever that Anita Harris' final album for CBS has been released on CD. This expanded edition of the long deleted 1970 album also includes all seven of the non-album a and B sides from the end of her CBS tenure, giving the definitive insight into the closing chapter of one of the most successful, yet often overlooked, British girl singers of the 1960's. ANITA IN JUMBLELAND was also the name of a long lost music led children's television program starring, and co-produced by, Anita Harris. Set in a junkyard with a magic piano that played itself, Anita would weave stories with her child co-stars through well-known songs including those on this album. The album provides a soundtrack to a classic and popular television program but also, in it's unique and joyously upbeat take on much loved songbook classics, it provides a stand-alone masterclass on the nuances of the art of dramatic singing. The sleeve also features her co-stars and her magical color and size changing, flight enabled car 'Nittybug'.
