You don't have to be Jewish to shop in Rosebank


This little gem was spotted at the African market in Johannesburg somewhere between the Indian head massages and the "tasteful nudes". The cover looks like a portrait from an early United Nations diplomatic social. I first thought that this would turn out to be some crackly recording of sulky Organ music but of course the joke was on me... It's a slick irreverent comedy recorded in the 1960s in New York and not at all out of place in Rosebank. Before I realised this, though, I thought it would be fun to imagine all the wonderful ways that you might finish that sentence... Go on, you know you want to.
