"I agree with who ever wrote the following review 100%. This this CD is awful."So much orchestral embellishment that one can't even pick out the tune you want to hear. What a mess they've made of simple powerful music.""
Trust me; it is really a very good CD

"In 1969, I have bought the Longplaying "March in review - Stirring U.S. service marches - Band of the Grenadier Guards". It is the original recording on London SP44131 and it was considered at that time as one of the best military music recordings ever done. This CD contains exactly the same tunes payed exactly in the same manner and it is always a powerful recording. Listen Anchors Aweigh and you will hear the sound of the waves. No other band can do that. Listen "Ballad of the green berets", "Semper Paratus", "She wore a yellow ribbon" or "Thru the years" and you will understand why I like it. Trust me; it is really a very good CD."
Stirring and Uplifting

"I love this CD. The music does tend to get a bit overpowering. However, if you adjust the settings on your receiver and/or equalizer you can get the voices. Try to increase the mid-range tones. You can also experiment with different surround modes to get an optimal reproduction for your listening pleasure. But put the technical stuff aside. If you are at least vaguely familiar with the words they will come. This is an uplifting CD."
