5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Steamroller Collection!!, August 26, 1999

I just picked this Anniversary Collection up. I totally love it, even though they didn't include my all time favorite M. Steamroller song (Dancing Flames) on it. It is a wonderful collection to listen to if you want to listen to M. Steamroller and can't decide which cd to listen to. I have everything Chip and the gang have ever put out. And I must add, I have never been disappointed. I recommend buying this set if you want to start experiencing the sounds of Mannheim Steamroller. Go get it now!!!!

Has it been 25 years? Yes, in the 25 years of Mannheim Steamroller, has sold more than 24 million albums - without the backing of a major label and significant radio air-play..."Fresh Aire" series pioneered the New Age and Adult Contemporary genres, and its Christmas albums comprise the best-selling series consistently topped the Billboard New Age, Catalog and Christmas charts - three are multi-platinum, one platinum and 10 others gold.

Always following his basic instincts, Chip never looked back only to the horizon, and this 2-CD-Set definitely has "happy trails" written all-over-it. Mannheim Steamroller has even managed to crack the Top Jazz Albums and Adult Contemporary charts - "Fresh Aire VI" was Top Jazz Album - where it resided for seven weeks.

A quarter of a cenury later, we're still at it...listening, collecting and anticipating each new Mannheim Steamroller release and what delights they bring...may they always charm the listeners old and new with their special magic!

Total Time: Disc One 45:45 on 12 Tracks & Disc Two 43:34 on 13 Tracks...American Gramaphone AG25-2...(1999)

5.0 out of 5 stars For any Mannheim Steamroller Fan -- Buy this set!, August 25, 1999

I am a huge fan of the Fresh Aire Christmas series and it has become my favorite Christmas music of all time. To tell the truth though I only have a couple of other Mannheim Steamroller CDs (Classical Gas and Fresh Aire 7). The other ones I have listened to and have found that there are some numbers that I like and others that are just okay. This new collection brings out the best of Mannheim Steamroller. There is one song from 25 different CDs including one from the upcoming Fresh Aire 8 which is excellent. So if you are a huge fan or even like just a little of Mannheim Steamroller's music, you must buy this CD set.
