Some songs are favourites — and Sing! has brought the fun of hundreds of them into Primary classrooms for over 40 years.

Now, 40 of the best-loved Sing! favourites from 1975 to 1984 have been brought back to life in this NEW Collectors’ Edition.

The book is a self-contained music resource.

For each song there is:

• brief background information

• the CD track number

Favourites include:

• ‘Bound for South Australia’

• ‘Macnamara’s Band’

• ‘Never Smile at a Crocodile’

• ‘Aquarius’ and many more . . .

All the songs have been professionally re-recorded to suit children’s vocal range.

The CD features:

• contemporary arrangements

• a combination of professional singers and children

• vocal and instrumental-only versions.

It is ideal for use in classroom music lessons, concerts and school assemblies.
