Customer Reviews

6 pounds for 5 CD - Best Buy
There are many BOX SET with 2, 3, 4 or 5 CD and usually, it is always the same bands and the same tunes. So, the biggest difference between all these BOX SETS is the number of CD and tunes and the price of the BOX SET. At 6 pounds or 12$ for 5 CD, it is a very inexpensive BOX SET for a so wide variety of tunes. Mainly British military tunes, tunes from the war movies and some classic tunes, it is a best buy, The quality of recording is good and the tunes are easy to listen. There are many different bands and the tunes are well played. If you know nothing about military tunes, you must buy this BOX SET. If you do not know all the tunes, it is a good way to hear them.

Worth every penny?
I suppose that as this collecton doesn't cost a great deal you get a lot for your money - and some of it is very good. However, a great deal of it is indifferent and certainly not the stuff associated with military bands - more brass bands trying to popularise their repertoire. Then there are the chunks of stuff that are very poor [are these the beginners or do they just not practise?] or even laughable - imagine, if you will, The Radetzky March for a hippo on mogadon. Five disks, but the worthwhile tracks could easily have been fitted onto one.

100 Military Band Favourite
Bought as a present for my Father and he really seemed to enjoy it, so thats a big plus for this, and at the purchase price you can't go wrong for a cd boxset, a must for any fans.
