[Dixielandjazz] Can You Help This Lady?Fw: Your Post onSongbirds

[Allan Brown]

Harry,

You've started, so I'll finish! 

Rather than computer codes, you were obviously angling for palindromic artist/ album names. In addition to ABBA there are a few listed below:

http://rateyourmusic.com/list/monocle/welcome_to_the_palindrome__reversible_album_titles

...and managing to refrain from immediate googling, I put forward Yul Bryner(?) as one of the Magnificent Seven. 

(The theme tune is fresh in my head as my daughter and I have been practising the clarinet part of the score for her school orchestra's upcoming performance.)

Best,

Allan
