1.0 out of 5 stars can't understand the words, January 7, 2004

Don't know about those other reviewers, but I just can't make out very much of the lyrics. Maybe those folk have better CD players or better hearing, but it's pretty much a blur to me. I strongly recommend "The Ultimate Gilbert and Sullivan" instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars The best? I think not., January 10, 2004

This review is from: Best of Gilbert & Sullivan (Audio CD)

This disc includes some songs that, while I like them, are not what people might consider the "best" of G&S. Of course, anything by G&S is good, it's still not the "best of the best."

There has got to be something that better represents the G&S canon.

This is the third time that we have purchased this cd, we love it so much that we played the snot out of it. Scratches no more, we put it on our MP3s, placing the cd in the "vault". :)
