Getting Strong! Wiggle and Learn (album)



"Getting Strong!" is The Wiggles' first studio album featuring Sam Moran. It was released on the 3rd of May, 2007.

Origins
This is The Wiggles' first album recorded at Hot Potato Studios.

Production
It took about a week to record this album. In fact, it was the first Wiggles album Sam Moran ever recorded. This album was never recorded in 2006 due to Greg Page's illness, although one of the songs was sung by Greg in Hit Songs and Rarities.
