4.0 out of 5 stars flawed master, June 29, 2005

By 

Brass Fancier (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Old Rugged Cross: 34 Brass Band Favourites (Audio CD)

Another exquisite collection from the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, but appears to have been cut from a flawed master. My first copy was a gift from a friend in the U.K., and the final track produced sharp crackley sounds like a deeply scratched vinyl disc, so I ordered another from Amazon plus a second one for a friend. Both have the same flawed final cut, but I've not returned them because it is so good that I'd rather have it flawed than not at all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Church hymns in the Salvation Army Band style, February 11, 1999

By

This review is from: Old Rugged Cross: 34 Brass Band Favourites (Audio CD)

Most of the songs on this album sound as if they were arranged from the song books found on the back of a church pew. Nothing too original - or that exciting about them.

If you need old timey church music... this is it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice selections - dissappointing sound quality, May 12, 2007

By 

Top Hat (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Old Rugged Cross: 34 Brass Band Favourites (Audio CD)

This is one of the UK's top brass bands performing tastefully arranged hymn tunes. Featured in the movie "Brassed Off!" I expected great things from this CD. My main disappointment is the sound quality, or lack thereof. I have vintage cassette tapes which sound considerably better. The performances are mostly excellent, but I fear not enough to overcome the poor sound.
