Trivia[]
- Compared to the original release of Big Red Car, the following was changed for this re-release:
- The original recording of "Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)" was replaced with its 1997 re-recording from The Wiggles Movie Soundtrack.
- The songs "On Your Holiday" and "Teddy Bear Hug" and the spoken tracks "Bouncing Ball" and "My Holiday At The Beach" were removed completely.
- The spoken tracks "Cows", "My Hat" and "Look At Baby" were all renamed to "Introduction".
- "Joannie Works With One Hammer" was called by its full name on both versions of the liner notes, as it was originally referred to simply as "Joanie" in the Australian liner notes of the original album.
- This was the first Wiggles album to feature Paul Paddick as a lead vocalist since Wiggle Bay, as well as the first ever to feature vocals from Caterina Mete.
- This was the first Wiggles album to credit bouzouki player George Tseros as a musician, and the first to feature Dominic Lindsay as an accordionist.
- "I Want To Wear The Jacket", "Sorry Again", "Our Boat Is Rocking On The Sea" and "Nicky Nacky Nocky Noo" are the only new recordings on the album. While the latter two tracks are pre-existing Wiggles songs that were re-recorded for Here Comes The Big Red Car, the former two tracks are completely unique to the album.
- The album cover was photographed in July 2003.[2]
