This review is from: The King's Singers Collection [Box Set] (Audio CD)

There are currently two 5-disc sets from the King's Singers titled "King's Singers Collection." I ordered this one thinking I was getting the set of new material, but this collection is actually five of their old albums: "Beatles Connection, Tribute to the Comedian Harmonists, Folk Songs of the British Isles, Madrigal History Tour, and Believe in Music." These were good albums, and if you don't have them this is a super deal. But if like me you already own most of these and you were looking for the 5-disc set of NEW material then don't order this. That "King's Singers Collection" is under the Signum label.
