4.0 out of 5 stars Pipes and Drums Potporri, March 2, 2001

By	Roger Kennedy - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

These two CDs are a grab-bag selection of Scottish pipe band recordings going back over the years. Most of them are civilian bands which play in the competitonal style. While I'm not a big advocate of collections like this, prefering the original recordings if possible; many of these tracks are no longer available. Others may still be out there. At least the bands are listed and the tunes they play appear to be accurate as well. This is not often done with these types of potporri collections where bands and music are often just thrown together in slip-shod fashion. The last few tracks on the 2nd CD are interesting becasue they are the massed bands, pipes and drums of the Scottish Division. These selections are no longer available commercially. Buy this collection if you are a pipe band nut and just want a lot of good pipe music by different bands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes a Scot proud, July 17, 2001

By	Stephanie D. Martin (KENT OHIO USA) - See all my reviews

The cheapest 2-disc set I have ever purchased in my life. Very good quality, awesome songs. Scotland the Brave is played at least three times in some form or another. A lot of well-known favorites: Amazing Grace, Cockney Jocks, etc. I'm actually playing some songs from the discs at my wedding. Very upbeat, traditional bagpipe and drum music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rampant lions share, September 17, 2007

By	D. Bixler "dbix" (humboldt nation) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good military, formal pipe and drum recording. The volume and sound is clear, the tunes certainly satisfy the thirst of someone craving scottish pipes.
