4.0 out of 5 stars One I bought for one track, and enjoyed for the others..., 1 Aug 2008
By R. A. Caton "Arcaton" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I bought this disc for the transcription of Richardsons' "London Fantasia" which as far as I know is the only one available on CD.
It is a good disc overall though; they are not rerecordings but transcribed 78rpm originals, ranging from the commonly available pieces ("Portrait of a Flirt","In Party Mood", "Coronation Scot") to some light pieces not so frequently met with now (the utterly charming "Bubbling Over", and "Wooden Shoes"). I've put only 4 stars because the transcription quality is not of the best, although adequate copies have been used. The more popular tunes are available from better originals (see "The Great British Experience" as an extremely desirable double CD in this line) but the rarer ones are welcome even if a trifle rough. It needs to be remembered in the case of "The London Fantasia" that the original double sided 12" 78 is loud with strong dynamics - steel needles really punish a disc like that and an unworn copy must be hard if not impossible to find.
Overall I'd say get this disc; some of the stuff you won't find elsewhere, some will be only on music publishers labels not generally available - all of the music here, though, is worth listening to.
