The New Goodies LP was the second LP record released by The Goodies.[1] All songs were written by Bill Oddie except "Wild Thing" which was written by Chip Taylor with adaptation by Bill Oddie. "Baby Samba", "Rock With A Policeman" and "Nappy Love" had previously been written by Oddie for use in I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again. It was recorded in June and July 1975 at Olympic Studios (although the album cover says it was "recorded almost live at the Cricklewood Rainbow") and produced by Miki Antony. As with their first album, the music was performed mainly by session musicians. Arrangements were by Dave MacRae, with the exception of "Please Let Us Play", "Cricklewood", "Good Ole Country Music", "Baby Samba" and "Nappy Love" which were arranged by Tom Parker.
It was their most successful album, spending 11 weeks in the UK Albums Chart and peaking at #25.[2]
"Goodies Theme", "Funky Gibbon" and "Nappy Love" had been released as singles prior to the album. "Custard Pie" was released as a single in 1976.
