Revision as of 11:42, 10 February 2023

The album's front cover.

Status: Lost

The Wiggles is a popular children's group that formed in 1991 in Sydney, Australia. They are known for their hits Hot Potato, Get Ready To Wiggle, Fruit Salad and many others. Between 1991 and 1998, they mostly released albums and videos and toured heavily and would gain popularity in Australia. In 1999, their popularity in United Kingdom rises after the success of The Wiggles videos Wiggle Time! and Yummy Yummy^[1].

After the popularity rises, The Wiggles recorded and released their new album "Get Ready To Wiggle!" that was distributed by Walt Disney Records in the United Kingdom exclusively in June of 1999 (date unknown). But due to lack of information online, it's currently unknown if it's a album with plenty of songs from past Wiggles albums (ranging from 1991 to 1998) or a single release of the re-recorded song of the same name as the album.

Availability

Although the back cover or the disc itself has yet to surface online, the front cover was uploaded on Instagram by the name of Johnny Wiggle (who was originally from Lance), but it's unclear what source Lance got the image from^[2]. As of 2023, the Get Ready To Wiggle! album has yet to be found.

-Due to the album being currently lost and that there's only one website that mentioned anything on the album is The Wiggles website in 1999, it's currently unknown if it's a a compilation album or a single release. It is also assumed to be released on compact disc but whether or not it was also released on cassette is unclear since it didn't mentioned that it would be released on CD or on cassette but as a "audio project."
