4.0 out of 5 stars Oldies but Goodies!, November 30, 1998

By A Customer

When I bought this video I wasn't to keen on getting "Golden Oldies" performances! But anyway I pressed on and watched it, and I loved it. Now it is one of my favorite skating videos that I own, and I have to watch it at least once a month! My favorite performances on the tape are Torvill&Dean's comic tango, and Scott Hamilton's When I'm 64, routine!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad audio track, February 27, 2001

By	Neil Herbert (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

The performances included are good, BUT one CAN NOT HEAR THE MUSIC that the performers are skating to. The music is at a very low volume with some female talking very loudly over it telling that they just did a "triple something". That amateur commentary was not necessary and is very distrubing. The audio "engineer" (if you can call him that) and the producer of this video should go back to high school and enroll in freshman audio-visual!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Performances/Bad Audio, March 22, 2002

By	JAMES MCCANCE (NEW YORK, NEW YORK United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great collection of performances by some of history's greatist skaters.If you can get past the beginning,I'm sure you'll enjoy this video.An awful,loud and annoying announcer is heard during the first couple of performances with the music being very low.Afterwards,things pick up.Former skater,Jo Jo Starbuck does a very nice job commenting.Video quality is very good,especially for the age of some of the footage.All performances are firt rate.A nice surprise for me was a routine by Rosalyn Sumners,who was not listed on the video package.She is one of my all-time favorites.This is a must have for all long time figure skating fans.
