"Remember You're A Womble" was the second album released by The Wombles. The songs were recorded by Mike Batt (vocals/keyboards) with session musicians Chris Spedding (guitars), Les Hurdle (bass), Clem Cattini (drums), Ray Cooper (percussion), Rex Morris (sax), Eddie Mordue (sax) and Lack Rothstein (violin).

After the success of the previous album, "Wombling Songs", Batt experimented with more character songs in a variety of musical styles. He described it as "really the first proper album for the Wombles as a group".cite book|title=Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth|author=Kim Cooper, David Smay, Jake Austen|year=2001|publisher=Feral House|isbn=0922915695|pages=159] The styles included pop, rock, classical (the music of "Minuetto Allegretto" was based on Mozart's Symphony No.41) and surf rock in the style of the Beach Boys.

The songs also developed the Womble characters further, for example "Wellington Goes To Waterloo" describes Wellington Womble taking a rare day off and visiting London Waterloo station for a bit of train spotting.

This was the first album so show the full size Womble costumes, worn by Batt and the session musicians. The album spent 31 weeks in the UK album charts, peaking at number 18 on 13 July 1974.cite book|title=The Complete Book Of The British Charts: Singles and Albums|author=Neil Warwick, Jon Kutner, Tony Brown|year=2004|publisher=Omnibus Press|isbn=1844490580|pages=1203-1204]
