5.0 out of 5 stars You can beat time but you can't beat Alford!, 4 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I was hooked on this disc even before I heard it. As a lover of military music, the bands of the Royal Marines and those Alford marches which I already knew, it had to be bought. I've certainly not been disappointed with what I heard. The quality of the playing is all one could expect, the sleeve notes are brief, but informative, and led me to read Alford's biography with great interest, and any product of Brian Culverhouse and Chandos is guaranteed to be worth the purchase price - and if you don't know the Lightning Switch and the Musical Switch you're in for a rare treat.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it, 3 Feb 2009
This recording is hopefully not the Royal Marines "on their best". Alford's marches are so elegant and brilliant, but the performances on this CD are far form how the marches should be played regarding both tempo and dynamic. It sounds like a non-professional army band on parade and marching in the street. In addition, "Colonel Bogey on Parade" is not included. Hence the album does not include all marches by Kenneth J. Alford.

5.0 out of 5 stars great music by the best military band , 19 April 2008
By Mr. D. J. Huskinson "Dave H" (London, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What can you say, brilliant, perfect the Royal Marines at their best the music says it all. This is what the Royal marines are famous for. Jim mason is in the directors spot for this one , this combination makes it an unmissable cd.
