Any British BBW-ers who don't already have it should order a copy quick before the price goes back up...Pete Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-83530482909303015012011-12-26T16:58:11.756+00:002011-12-26T16:58:11.756+00:00Thank you Pterosonus.

Fantastic Voyage stuff is public domain so you're not gonna have pristine sound quality on every track.<br /><br />The lack of personnel details is another slight drawback - you only get the label, release number and year. Maybe there just wasn't room for that amount of info.<br /><br />The set is comparatively cheaper over here at around £11 or £12 and is well worth that amount of money.boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-6445126959794738172011-12-26T16:26:07.350+00:002011-12-26T16:26:07.350+00:00I bought this based on your review and am very gla...I bought this based on your review and am very glad I did. Excellent songs from pre- and early rock days when saxophone was the killer lead soloist instead of guitar. A couple of songs come from extremely worn out 78's and should have been left off and replaced with songs that don't sound like they're being played behind a waterfall. Annoying lack of personnel listing, as incomplete as it might have been. Great set! Got mine on eBay for $19.00 with free shipping.Pterosonusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-39859894477890410812011-12-23T23:14:21.416+00:002011-12-23T23:14:21.416+00:00Thank you, thank you, thank you., I had the low b ...Thank you, thank you, thank you., I had the low b udget release "Blue Tango" when it was new and wore it to shreds.
