Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The finest band to ever come out of the West Country, The Wurzels have enjoyed a surprising amount of success during their long career, with their tales of cider (or zider, as they prefer to call it) and farming. Primarily known for the classic "Oi've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester (I'll Give You The Key)", this Best Of compilation has so much more to offer than bizarre West Country ways of proposing marriage. For starters it contains the utter classic "I Am A Cider Drinker", a drinking song to the tune of "Una Paloma Blanca", complete with hearty "Oooo-arrr" chorus. Like Ivor Biggun, this is British smutty humour at its best, with songs like the tale of the "Market Gardener", who takes his date to the garden to show her his "produce" only to hear her utter the magical words, "I'd like to take a sample of your cucumber home tonight", or the slightly dodgier "In The Back Of My Old Car" with it's scary refrain of "I'll give you an economy ride". Ooo-arrrr, missus. --Helen Marquis

You see, primarily I listen to metal. I'm talking Morbid Angel, Cradle of Filth, Opeth...... But at the end of a long day or when the mood takes you there's nothing I like better than sticking this (or any other Wurzels CDs) in the stereo and having a good drink or two (or three, or four.... 5...6...7 etc. And Zider at that!).
It really blows your troubles away and exercises the ability to laugh and be exceedingly happy! I would DEFINETLY recommend this! The classics are endless from "Combine Harvester" (Brand New Key), "Drink up thy Zider", and "My Threshing machine"! Obviously there wasn't room for all the classics as it is missing "My Somerset Crumpet Horn" and "Look at 'ee Lookin' at I" but it has its fair share and is still a proper job!
Oooh aah!! More people should indeed listen to The Wurzels! Try it, you might like it!

A must have album for anyone who's ever enjoyed a night in a proper 'local' zummerzet pub. Every weekend this gets chucked on in our local and we all raise a mug of cloudy scrump to this fine bunch of merry men and have a sing song. If on the other hand you don't have a local pub full of red-faced zider zupperz get a couple gallons of cider-u-can-chew-on, drag the barbie out, get your mates round and do it the 'Wurzel' way...
The weekend just wouldn't be the same without it.. Perfick!!

They are excellent fun songs that I came to know through my cousins during my stay in England. I even saw the wurzels live in herefordshire. When I returned I found my mum used to go to dances where the wurzels played. So it's been a must find album. It brings back soo many memories of Young farmers.

Great buy
This is a classic. We had a copy before and somehow lost it, so to buy it a second time says it all. A good bit of Somerset fun with the feel good factor.

Oooh Aagh.
Great disc, full of the Wurzels. I think most of their best tracks are on my download so sing along in your best West Country accent.

Great album
I bought this for the combine harvester song and the blackbird. A great album to have a sing-song to if you're a few sheets to the wind and don't mind singing badly! A great album.
