Lesser bands might have been put off their stride by the death of their lead singer, but not AC/DC. No sooner had Bon Scott met his whiskey-sodden end in 1980 than AC/DC recruited a new singer, Brian Johnson--who sounded almost exactly like Scott--and released, in Back in Black, the biggest-selling album of their career. For Those About to Rock...We Salute You is a suitably triumphant follow-up. The cannon-punctuated title track--the most auspicious marriage of music and artillery since Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"--still provides a spectacular finale to AC/DC concerts. For Those About to Rock also confirmed that Johnson's lyrical preoccupations were broadly congruent with those of his predecessor: "Let's Get It Up" and "Inject the Venom" are as subtle as their titles sound. This is a record Beavis and Butthead would describe as "cool"--and, as usual, they'd be right. --Andrew Mueller

Best AC/DC album hands down.......2007-06-06

I've never claimed to be a big fan of AC/DC, and my best friend loathes them. However, I've been able to tolerate them and respect them from a musicians' point of view, and who could forget the classic tracks on the multiplatinum Back in Black LP. However Back in Black was still 80s heavy rock mainstream garbage to me in my mind. I couldn't get past the cliche lyrics of sex, wine, women, drugs, and the AC/DC cliches such as guns, fire, and hell.

Well, one night I was at a gig, with a band that I'm really great friends with. In between sets they threw on the track "For those about to Rock". I forgot how great that song was and I hadn't heard it in so long. I decided to pick the album up within the next few weeks and surprise, it dropped in price and it came with all of the original LP art.

However! There was a sticker on the front that said "remastered" and I was a bit skeptical. I mean, why fix something that isn't broken? Nonetheless I bought it and popped it in my car stereo. The explosive sound of this album just floored me. The masters sounded so good and the songwriting on this album is top notch.

I decided if any AC/DC album was worth picking up and mentioning to friends, FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK was the one to recommend. No euro-trash here. No cheesy 80s drivel here. FTATR is actually a very modern sounding record! Nothing wrong with classic albums, but this was a nice touch. Every song leaves with a hard hitting ending, and the next song punches you right in the face not a second later. The tracks glide into each other seamlessly and without flaw. I have no complaints here.

I lost Back in Black a long time ago and I haven't really missed it much. The same with The Razor's Edge. But if I lost this one I would probably pick it up the next day. Great songs, great sound, great price.

most creative chording and drumming the band ever did.......2007-04-26

I agree with almost all of the positive comments on this great album but wanted to add my own two cents worth.

As a guitarist and drummer myself I have to say that this is malcolm's best album by far as a guitarist/songwriter (even if the songwriting isn't as exciting as that of back in black), his chords are far more interesting than his typical work.

Angus too, his contributions to the songwriting are excellent throughout the album, and his lead playing is full of intense raging emotion in this album, if such a thing could ever be said of his playing.

the bass playing is typical ac/dc, great playing, great tone, really simple and dark, occasional cool bends and riffs, but sitting perfectly in the mix with rudd/s drumming and malcolm's excellent playing.

Also definitely worth noting is that compared to everything else I've ever heard by one of my favorite straight ahead classic rock drummers (talking about Phil Rudd of AC/DC), this album has by far the most amazing drum playing of any ac/dc album. Not something one generally thinks of with AC/DC, but Rudd is largely responsible for the tone, feel and memorable rhythm riffs. Throughout back in black and most of the band's career up to and including for those about to rock (after which he frustratingly left the band for many years causing AC/DC to lose a major character of their signature sound until his relatively recent return), Rudd has been vital to the success of AC/DC with his incredible feel, understanding of the songs, and great tone (this is a man who's always known how to tune his sonar drums perfectly, listen to their live stuff from the bon scott days, his drums still sounded incredible even with low budget unproduced small venue live recordings). Throughout for those about to rock Rudd is permitted to contribute more than his typical creativity into fills (or, as I understand it, just forced his musicianship onto the recordings against the will of the young brothers, which is part of why he eventually quit due to the young brothers not understanding how unique and important he was to the band's sound). Also the engineers and producer (Mutt lange) did a great job of bringing his sound to the front of the mix while still leaving plenty of room for everyone's sound to come through evenly. This is an album you can play air drums to with the best of keith moon's and john bonham's triumphs. Well done Phil Rudd! I take off my hat to you.

Also this is the last album where Brian's voice sounded brilliant. After this is really did start losing it's tone and becoming more of a noisy scream, albeit still the best noisy scream I've ever heard.

Compared to later flops like flick of the switch, fly on the wall, the terribly produced who made who soundtrack (talk about inconsistent engineering!), and even the best of their later work such as thunderstruck (by now on their third drummer I believe after rudd's departure, AC/DC still wondering why their feel just isn't as good after "for those about to rock" hahaha), I would put this album at the top of the heap, equal to back in black in many ways, slightly better in a couple of ways, and a little bit less great in a couple of other ways notably, songwriting isn't quite as amazing, but still really good).

This and back in black are the best two brian johnson led ac/dc albums period. After this things went down hill with occasional good songs but nothing outstanding and many filler songs in albums that were just not interesting to listen to at all. They've gotten it back together recently with Rudd and the original lineup and the sound is back, but sadly the young brother's just don't write like they used to, and johnson just doesn't have the tone any more, so a great rhythm section and great players just are getting a little too spent now to come up with the magic even if they now sound almost like they did in the highway to hell days (oddly, but that's what I think they sound like anyway now).

Another level.......2007-03-21

Brian Johnson helps take the band to another level after the mega successful Back in Black. Though not as much of a commercial hit as the former, this album showcases some extraordinary guitar work by Angus Young.

Play This On 10.......2007-01-25

Ac/Dc is amazing....they have been around since the 70s and have never changed their sound...they still do heavy blues tinged rock better then ANYONE in the business
this is the 2nd release with Brian Johnson fronting the band...to those that thought the unbeatable Back In Black was a fluke this is proof that Brian has what it takes...this CD is powerful! If you play it at a low volume it still sounds good but it loses over half of it's punch...the guitar tones really only come out when you crank it up to 10...which is how rock and roll is meant to be...the title cut 'for those about to rock' is rock and roll perfection...a call to all rockers to unite and sing loud and proud,complete with cannon sounds...very powerful...followed by 'put the finger on you' extremely catchy and melodic and full of power,'let's get it up' more sexual charged lyrics backed by very melodic rock fury...'inject the venom' more power...unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't quite keep up that pace...but come on,how can you follow up a start to finish perfect album like Back In Black with another album that is absolute perfection...they come close...snowballed,breaking the rules,night of the long knives and spellbound are not quite up to the beginning tracks but they still ROCK with power...and evil walks rocks hard and is right up there with the beginning of the album...and then there is c.o.d which in my opinion is ac/dc's most underrated song...it is awesome....this CD is a great example of what rock should be

upside - C.O.D..the title cut 'for those about to rock' let's get it up,put the finger on you,inject the venom and evil walks...great rock...great production...great solos and rhythms and Brian Johnson screams with the best of 'em

the downside - the second half has some songs that get a little slow and lose a little steam but it still rocks

the bottom line - a fantastic follow up to the unbeatable 'Back In Black'..if you are just starting out with Ac/Dc start with Back in Black and Highway to hell and then check out this one and Dirty Deeds...honestly,rock doesn't get much better then this...this is powerful and you should run out and buy it...donutman says so!!!

Review #100, Baby.......2007-01-10

I have now listened to all but a few of AC/DC's albums, and I would probably declare this one the second worst (with Highway to Hell being a painfully obvious last place). This was an absolutely horrible follow-up to the phenomenal "Back In Black"; it deserves every ounce of its low ratings and isn't the slightest bit underrated. I don't even know how this band ever got popular; their style is horribly repetitive and simple. If nothing else they were able to influence the future awesomeness of Jet and other such bands, but it's releases like this that make me wonder why the heck classic rock bands even have fans. I don't care for Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Rush, Styx, or other such bands. Oh, I also loathe The Who more so than any of those bands. People need to stop being so trendy and liking all the albums considered "classics" and find some more recent albums to consider classics since the 2000's are shaping out pretty good as rock music goes. As for this specific album, though, it has one good song; the title track. Bands use this technique often when they only have one good song on the album; they make it a hit. The rest of this album isn't as heavy as "Back In Black" and really it's boring enough to be classified a "snoozer". One star is what I'd give it; the AC/DC albums that you should buy are "High Voltage" and "Back In Black". Didn't like the rest.

Album matches content hype.......2007-05-31

I intially bought this album for a few selections I had heard from Classical 102.1 (KDFC-FM). I was pleasantly surprised that the entire album has a very satisfying collection of the greatest marches. I am very pleased with this album, and would recommend it for anyone who likes a broad range of famous marches.

Fun.......2007-01-21

This CD would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys marches. Some of the marches are popular, others are not. All are well-performed and can be enjoyed - LOUDLY!

invigorating!.......2006-12-05

Great recordings of stirring music. I like to play it loud while my kids and I clean house. It makes it go by fast.

Totally awesome!.......2005-03-27

My father was a Marine in the ETC, he told me stories about how they went floor to floor checking for bad guys humming this music. I think it is great music to listen to, I really like track 3, it says so much in the title alone. I hope everybody like this music as much as I do!

Marching along.......2007-05-12

I am a walker..(up to 15 miles per week) Having made this purchase... I now march along with Sousa and the other greats on this fine album....I heartily recommend it to all....as well as Amazon's timely and fairly priced services...

Traditional American marches.......2007-03-22

These are traditional American marches well played and stirring. The CD and case are of good quality, and the sound is excellent.

GREAT MUSIC!.......2007-03-11

This is an unusual Music CD to a great price.
Something to celebrate July 4 and our nation.
Highly recommended.

Why not ZERO? .......2007-01-27

I would give this one ZERO.....absolutely waste of money. The sound quality is terrible on my Made in Japan SONY / Kenwood / Panasonic CD / MP3 Players. Also, the collection of the noise is not all that impressive, I have seen much better calming peaceful MUSIC. Do not waste money, I think it is rediculous to have a band for military, How about a band for PEACE?

Great Military Music.......2007-01-11

The CD was just what I needed for a special memorial tribute to our service people that have passed on. The recording was clear and bright. The music selections were well performed and TAPS was especially evoking.

Salute to America.......2006-07-27

Very similar in quality and music to I Love A Parade and a very upbeat reminder of why we are a patriotic nation. The arrangements and quality of the songs are great.

A good choice but..........2005-06-29

It is not the best CD that I have bought but it is an honest one. The orchestration is good, the choice of tunes is excellent and the tunes are well played. As you know, it is always difficult to say : I like it or I hate it because hearing a CD is a question of personal point of view. In my case, I may not say that I like it or I hate it, I prefer some other orchestration but it us a good CD.

Ho-Hum.......2005-06-08

I wanted some rousing marching music. This album is half asleep. The sound quality is poor. Apparently Mr. Williams writes better music than he conducts.

"Boston Pops".. Alway's do the Job!.......2001-10-03

John Williams/Boston Pops.. Salute to America.

And they do! They salute America! This is a wonderful C.D
Battle Hymn of the Republic, is great..

New York, New York,will bring tears to your eyes!
12 renditions in all..

All these are performed wonderfully, and well worth the money!

I would recommend this to anyone who loves patriotic music, it will stir the heart and soul of Americans....

Full-Spirited.......2000-09-02

I'm a classical music/opera person for the most part. But I find this CD entralling. Even the organization of the CD is ideal-almost like a symphony--with the rousing Candide Overture and the musical medleys at the beginning, the patriotic songs as the B section, and the Dixieland and other music from American musicals to finish up. And I particularly like the orchestration of the medleys. A wonderful CD.

These are fabulous marches played with huge amounts of zest, but one of Fiedler's best RCA marches - the Zacatecas March - was left out!!! Why??? There would have been plenty of room, and it seems to be available on a Japanese release - why not this one?

Otherwise, no hesitation at all.

Simply a Fun Set of Marches.......2003-10-18

In the 5th grade, I tried out for Little League. My desire to play baseball was not rooted in any love for the sport. I thought my father wanted me to play a sport. I was so great at the tryouts; he said some memorable words to me. "Tim, I think you ought to stick with playing the clarinet." I am sure he was trying to spare me humiliation on the athletic field. Little did he know he was starting my love affair with music, a far greater gift.

Perhaps because I was in the school band, I gravitated toward marches, and this collection of marches conducted by Arthur Fielder was one of the first recordings I purchased (6th or 7th grade I believe). At the time (the mid 1970's) it was only available on LP. As soon as the CD was available, I purchased it for nostalgic reasons. This collection had many popular marches such as the Grand March from Aida, Stars and Stripes Forever, Pomp and Circumstance, as well as some lesser known marches. This was one of the collections that piqued my interest in orchestral music. Though the marches could probably best be termed "light classical," it was an introduction to more serious music. Many years later I used this same recording when I taught as background music during art or spelling lessons. Again, it served as an introduction to more serious music.

This is not a complicated set; it is simply a little jewel that is a joy to listen to and a fun addition to a music collection.

Great Marching Music.......2000-11-14

Even though I am a Yankee I still love "Dixie." This is great music for pre-school children and those just entering school. I think it helps build character. I like this album.

Great.......1999-05-23

I have had this tape for years and it just got torn, so I have to replace it immediately because my granddaughter, age 3, also loves it.

reviving an old memory.......2007-06-08

This is a recording of an old vinyl which was in my collection. It was good to see that it was available, on CD, just as I remembered it sounding
Thanks.

So BAD she's GOOD .......2007-04-21

This is the most remarkable singing in all of recorded history. So BAD she's GOOD, Florence Foster Jenkins bankrolled herself into mini-stardom selling out her invitation-only once-a-year recitals until she became so legendary, she sold out Carnegie Hall to an audience snickering into their handkerchiefs. These recordings showcase that as BAD as Jenkins is, she gets WORSE . . . brilliantly so! With sensitive and serious accompaniment, Jenkins' voice is like a cross between a clucking chicken and a squeak toy played by Rusty Hinge. Each tune reveals a new vocal weakness (at best) or a deeper absurdity (at very best); these selections are a Punk miracle of self-delusion. I am grateful to all the brave reviewers who gave 5 stars 'cause they're right in its essential laughter factor; if you have a funny bone you cannot NOT laugh while listening to this lady sing!

my ears and belly hurt.......2007-04-11

My ears hurt from this absolutely abominable performance, and my belly from laughing.

A must for all music lovers.......2007-01-05

I first heard this album (LP) about 20 years ago on the radio. I recently recalled it and did a search on Amazon and to my amazement it and other titles were available. I purchased this disc for my wife's Christmas present 2006. We both cannot stop laughing every time we listen to it. I highly recommend this disc to anyone who loves the classics and has a hidden desire/dream that one day they too will be discovered and perform in large concert halls to utter amazement of the audience. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Florence's voice caused my dog to shake in fear........2007-01-02

This woman's voice was so bad that my dog started to shake in fear...then he ran and hid in my parent's room. I gave my friend the cd as a Christmas present and she said it ruined her Christmas. I, on the other hand, have never laughed so hard at someone's lack of musical ability! I've never heard anyone sound so horrible! Now, I don't want to give her all the credit..because when I heard Thomas Burns sing I FELL TO THE GROUND AND LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED! I guess that's why I am giving it 5 stars. Anything that can make me laugh until I cry is worth its weight in gold!!!

Amazon.com

Amazing Grace, a compilation of well-known gospel standards, brings together some of country music's brightest stars. From Lari White's understated delivery of the title track to Martina McBride's mandolin led version of "How Great Thou Art" to the Charlie Daniels Band's soulful rendering of "Kneel at the Cross," Amazing Grace is a real treat for fans of both secular country music and white Southern gospel. Accompanied by a full band including a bittersweet fiddle and a steel guitar, Paul Overstreet kicks up the tempo with "A Mansion Over the Hilltop," while Shenandoah's "Beulah Land" recalls both Glen Campbell's take on high-lonesome balladry as well as the tight harmonies of Alabama. And sung by the sweetest voices of the genre, two of the loveliest tracks on the record are born of the bluegrass gospel tradition: "I'd Rather Have Jesus" and "Precious Memories," performed by Alison Krauss and the Cox Family and Emmylou Harris, respectively. --Paige La Grone

Not Bad At All,.......2006-08-26

This is a pretty decent cd. The music is beautifully done and it is awesome. It might be a little slow, but it is relaxing. there is only one song i really liked on this cd and it is, Wich Of Couse, Amazing Grace.

Country at its best!.......2005-01-29

This Cd is awesome I've had it for quite some time. Shenandoah does one of my fav versions of Beulah Land. A blessing everytime I listen to it......STILL!

Slow, maybe, but Beautifully Slow.......2004-05-08

I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to hear "Amazing Grace" any other way but slow. Lari White sings it beautifully, with reverence. That's the way most of these tracks are. The females are the highlight. Lari White, Martina McBride, Susan Ashton, Allison Krause, and of course Emmylou. The production values are better than you can find on any country gospel album. I think Martina McBride's "How Great Thou Art" is being played on loudspeaker at the pearly gates for eternity. I'm not overly religious or emotional, but this album sooths my soul and brings a tear to my eye.

A real blessing!.......2003-07-05

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! This TRADITIONAL version of these timeless classics really brings back the memories. What wonderful rendtions performed with the original scores and at a worshipful and appreciative tempo. This is not a youthful exciting version of the classics, this is the GOOD STUFF! The way I remember them, you can hear the sincereity and praise in the artists voices! This is a vocal and spiritual homecoming.

very good, but I like Volume 2 better.......2002-12-21

I bought Volume 2 first, and liked it so much, I bought volume 1, but given the choice, I'd pick volume 2. This CD does have a much slower pace, but every song is quite lovely. You can't beat John Berry's "Blessed Assurance". A good choice if these are some of your favorite songs.

Great music.......2007-04-05

The pipes, like a few other things, are something you either love or hate. If you are not a Scot, they may sound like someone is scalding cats. If you are Scot, or even partly so, they will make your blood boil. This album certanily does that. It has a mix of traditional and more upbeat music. The traditional "Amazing Grace" is fantastic and the last selection is an upbeat Caribbean rendition that is great.

Not just pipes.......2007-02-12

I purchased this CD looking for bagpipe tracks to listen to. The recording of Amazing Grace is flawless, and inspiring. However - much of this CD is the entire band playing more modern music (of course this album was recorded in the 70's). The pipe playing is excellent, but this is not really a bagpipe CD.

Finally Found It!!.......2005-08-03

I have been searching for a CD of this recording for ages! In 1971, when it was originally released, I was 10 years old and couldn't appreciate the album that my brother played endlessly. As I got older I started to miss it. I found a cassette copy several years ago, but am afraid to use it anymore for fear of it breaking. My brother told me he had found a copy of the CD at his local Borders, and since I don't have one in my neighborhood I checked good old Amazon!! I have just ordered and I am looking forward to receiving it. I'm not a music critic, but after hearing many pipe and drum recordings, this has got to be the best I've ever heard.

A thousand horse cavalry charge!.......2005-06-11

I judge bagpipes by Scotland the Brave. This is magnificant; like a thousand horse cavalry charge. The only problem is that, at 45 seconds, it is too short.

It would have been far better if it had been played once on pipes alone and then again with the brass dropped in behind the pipes. A thousand highlanders screaming across the battlefield, followed by the thousand horse cavalry charge. Just thinking about it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand and my blood pressure go through the roof.

This album is magnificent, but it could have been awesome.

Updated Amazing Grace.......2003-05-09

Having reviewed the original "Amazing Grace" recording by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from 1971 it seems that Amazon.com now offers a series of recordings that the bands released in the late 70 and 1980s under the same title. The first half of this CD contains tracks from a 1976 release of the bands entitled "The Lengendary Amazing Grace" In addition to a fine updated version of the now famous tune four years after its original world wide hit, this part of the CD contains some interesting selections for band and pipes. "Una Palma Blanca" is a true example of how the RSDG bands went to great lengths to explore the full combined sound. The regimental band supports the pipes with a variety of modern sounds including an electronic bass guitar which many military bands in fact use for concert purposes today providing as it does a useful Continuo bass line for a military band. "Theme in Glory" and "Turn on the Sun" are additional examples of just how good the RSDG bands had mastered the concept of combing their resources. These are truly exciting pieces to listen too. The regimental band shows its stuff with "Rockout" an arrangement of classic old rock music themes. The pipes and drums provide three medleys and are simply surperb. One can hear that a distinctive change had taken place in the ensemble sound of the pipe band since 1971. The RSDG drummers have incorporated the use of their tenor drums to creat an amazing drummers' accompaniment to the pipes. This innovation would become standard in the piping world, but it owes its origins largely to the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards pipes and drums. Listen to how magificent the pipe band sounds when they first enter to the 6/8 medley starting with "Macneils of Ugdale". You won't find a better sound even today. The Retreat medley starting with "Lochanside" is also amazing. Its worth getting the CD just for those tracks as well as the others. Perhaps the most haunting combined tune is an arrangment of Handel's "Largo" with the solo pipes doubling for the voice parts. Truly beautiful and moving.

The second part of the CD contains recordings of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from the later 1970s. The listener will note that there is a subtle, but different recorded sound to the bands. They don't come across quite as clear as in the first 12 tracks on the CD. Again, there is the same rich selection of music with imaginative arrangements and unusual sounds. The regimental band gets highlighted more in these remaining tracks and the same versatility is still there. The "Slave Chorus" from Verdi's "Nabucco Opera" gets an interesting modern treatment. "Moonliner Rock March" is another great arrangement of rock tunes that gets the special Royal Scots Dragoon Guards touch. The pipes and drums are back with several combined medley's as well as two solo displays. The drummers show their stuff in "Drummer's Salute" displaying their modern percussion techniques that are still inspiring today for the pipe band world. All in all a worthy continuation of the "Amazing Grace" tradition that was started in 1971 and carred on since then. It's good to see that some of the many recordings the bands made through the years are now on CD. Enjoy the unique sound of the bands of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who did a lot to popularize Scottish and military band music in general around the world. Truly a legend of "Amazing Grace"

Bicentennial Military Music.......2007-03-28

The music from these three US Military Bands was originally released in 1977 as single Long Playing Records to celebrate the Nation's Bicentennial Celebration. It is missing the US ARMY BAND (which I regret) but otherwise the music is GREAT and the Bands are FIRST CLASS as you might expect. Except for the different services renderings of THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, no marches are duplicated. If you enjoy good foot tapping Martial Music...this 2-CD set is worth the price.

Disappointed listener.......2006-05-13

I have been listening to military band music for years, and am rarely disappointed. However, this compendium of music by the U.S. Navy, Army, and Marine bands and associated choral groups is not to my taste. Many of the arrangements are strange, and there is much too much vocal music when what I want to hear is the bands play. I would not have bought this album hhad I known beforehand what I know now.

Classic US Service Band Recordings!.......2005-08-10

Its nice to see these old RCA recordings brought out on CD. These were originally released on LP back in the early 1960s to help finance the Kennedy Center in DC. They were popular recordings then. Unfortunatley only three out of the original four are offered here. Missing is the US Army Band which also recorded as part of this series. The sound qaulity has been left largely as it was, which wes pretty good for early 1960s. The only problem with the original recordings was that they tended to sound poor on the inner tracks of the LP. Fortunately that problem no longer exists on CD. Due to the format there tends to be some repeat material here. How many times do we have to hear the national anthem played by each band! Still, there are some good selections played when these bands were in their prime and larger than they are today. Its good to see recordings being re-issued on US service bands other than Altissimo! which tends to use just in-the-can material from band libraries. Here we have the original stuff played in a manner which is no longer done today. For those seeking vintage recordings of US service bands you can't go wrong here.

German Marches on a budget.......2006-11-05

A good budget recording of twenty German military marches from Legacy International. As far as I know several of the marches on this recording are not easily available elsewhere. I was glad to find a CD of this recording which I had previously had on a LP vinyl record. Sadly the transfer to CD has not enhanced the sound quality. It sounds as it did on the vinyl record. There is a volume 2 of German Military Marches from Legacy International as well as an excellent recording of French military marches.

Old LP Re-Issue on CD.......2004-08-21

This is a collection of old LP recordings that were originally released on the Oylimpic Label some years ago. It has floated around since and has now come out on CD. The CD lists the German Air Force Band, but this group only plays in half of the selections listed. The other half is from another old Olympic Label recording with the Hoch Und Deutschmiester band of Austria.

Its too bad the producers were not a bit more honest about who is performing on this CD. The recording quality here has not been improved much from the original LP recordings.
The same poor linear notes are used with no info. about the
band(s) or music. Just some general ramblings about how military music may have developed in Germany. Its pretty general stuff.

While I have complained about the poor production qaulity the style of playing is still quite good. The recording sounds like it was made back in the 1960s or 70s when German bands sounded different than today. The best selection is the Zapfenstrich medley of marches and hymns used by the old Prussian army as an evening Tattoo piece and a salute to the colors. The music is not listed, but it includes Beethoven's "Zafenstreich March", as well as the old "Kurfursten march", which is included seperately later on the CD as well. This special medlely includes drum and fife florishes unique for the occasion in the old German army and concludes with a stirring version of "Deutschland Uber Alles". This selection is alone worth getting the CD for.

The other music played by the Hoch Und Deutschmiester Band is very good Austian martial selections, although these recordings have been re-issued and improved in their sound quality on another label. Overall you get a decent potporri of German and Austrian marches played by two different bands on this CD for a low price. The sound quality is poor, but not unbearable. This is basically a low budget production. You get what you pay for with this price. Enjoy

Quality?.......2003-02-25

Good representation of melodies. It would have been more enjoyable if they had used a better recording device to capture the sound. I think that wax cylinders went out of favor back in the 1920's. (Very limited dynamic and acustic range) Presentation is slightly better than the "average" high school drum and bugle corps.

Not WW2 military marches.......2002-11-06

I was searching for songs like Panzerlied and bought this CD.
I guess I expected too much from this CD.

Great!.......2002-03-07

Beware of the other CD with this title. THIS is
the good CD, the other is not. This has many great
marches on it including some they used a bit in Nazi
