5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!, June 12, 2005

By	E. Savadge "G&S Lover" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best recording of H.M.S. Pinafore that I have ever heard. Jean Hindmarsh(as Josephine) has a superb voice. It is sung with ethusiasm and is fun to listen to(if not the easiest thing to sing to!) I would recomend this to any G&S lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, October 23, 2005

A Kid's Review

This recording is wonderful! It has the complete dialogue, so you can listen to it and it sounds like you're actually at the theater. I thought the music was so good, I actually saw the operetta! Any G&S fan or non-fan will love this! I even listened to it with a friend who doesn't like opera, and she found it funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, February 27, 2006

By	Bethanie Innes "Dolores Dadd" (Tamworth, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed this production. It has a different style to the later D'Oyly Carte productions but it still has a great enrgy & the best cast. Jean Hindmarsh is second only to Valerie Masterson as Josephine and John Reid is the only Sir Joseph Porter worth listening to. All in all it is a great recording but make sure you have the libereto to get the most out of the great dialogue
