Pink Floyd came here

"This is one excellent batch of tunes! Bruce Springsteen is great, Manfred & the Band make him greater with their intense version of ' Spirits In The Night '. No part of the whole "Nightingales & Bombers" experiment is flawed. It even makes me feel sorry for the heavy-set,aka... "Fat Nellie".Pink Floyd used on "The Wall", very well I might add, the same 1940's recording which gives this collection its name. Remember the lirics on the first song on side two of "The Wall", ' Look Mommy, there's no plane up in the sky '? Compare the back-ground sounds of that song with the end of the great title cut of "Nightingales & Bombers". Might surprise ye."

"I had this album in vinyl when it first came out. a note was attached to this about how the nightingale bombers where
accually flying over at the time of the recording. if you listen
carefully you can hear thier roar in the middle of the album.
no doubt; a well planned fate or just plane luck. witch ever/
its worth the few dollars.its of some of the best of mann."
