Remember You're a Womble
Remember You're a Womble was the second album released by The Wombles. The songs were recorded by Mike Batt with session musicians Chris Spedding, Les Hurdle, Clem Cattini, Ray Cooper, Rex Morris, Eddie Mordue and Jack Rothstein.
After the success of the first album, Wombling Songs, Batt experimented with more character-based songs in a variety of musical styles. He described it as "really the first proper album for The Wombles as a group". The styles included pop, rock, calypso, classical and surf rock in the style of the Beach Boys.
The songs also developed the Womble characters further, for example "Wellington Goes To Waterloo" described Wellington Womble taking a rare day off and visiting London Waterloo station for a bit of trainspotting.
It was released in the US with a different tracklist, which added four songs from the previous album, Wombling Songs.
