RICICLES - TWICICLES AS NICICLES

I can't remember now whether this EP had to be sent away for (3 packet tops & a 2/6 Postal Order!) or if it came free with a box of Ricicles. The Kellogg's sellotape may suggest it was stuck to the box. Anyway, it is dated 1966 and has 5 tunes on it, including the well known TV advert song for Ricicles - "Twicicles As Nicicles", and is basically a wee adventure Noddy has going to the shops.
I used to have another Ricicles EP from the same period in which Noddy & co go out to sea, but many years later, when aged about 18, my mate borrowed it, and I never saw it again!
Although the record is for kids, the songs were composed by music biz heavyweight, Ron Goodwin, famous for his 60's tunes made at Abbey Road with George Martin, as well as scoring loads of film soundtracks.
You may not have heard the TV ad song since the 60's, but bet you'll still be able to sing along with it!
