All the other singers here are equally fine. I especially liked tenor Simon Crosby Buttle in The End, the last song in Now We Are Six, and in the well-known Buckingham Palace, where he shares honors with soprano Rosie Hay, whom I must mention for her rendition of Wind on the Hill from Now We Are Six. [\\x85] [This] Prima Facie version has seven very talented singers, which sometimes allows for interesting combinations of voices, and a chronological ordering, likely appealing for many listeners.' \\x96 MusicWeb International\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuckingham Palace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsn't It Funny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHappiness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Sweet to be a Cloud\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Christening\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's Very, Very Funny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePuppy and I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCottleston Pie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Four Friends\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLines Written By A Bear of Very Little Brain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLines and Squares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSing Ho!
