Poor quality sound due to lack of a quality size ensemble.

"Diversity of titles were quite good however selection #2 National Emblem is missing although listed on the back of CD case and on front of disc. Sound quality of most selections was poor, i.e. tinny, brassy and with no depth due to lack of full complement of instruments (baritnone horns, tuba, bass woodwinds etc.). Sound quality is "ZERO". My guess is that tere were no more than 10 - 15 musicians playing on most cuts."
No Name album to protect the guilty

"Mislabeled tracks and no notes make me sorry that I bought this CD. If I could find out who made it I would send it to them and never buy anything they made."
No-name band plays some popular and some obscure marches.

"What this CD lacks in musical virtuosity and recording quality it makes up for in enthusiasm. If you're looking for the old favorites such as 'Stars and Stripes Forever' and 'National Emblem', they're here, but you're better off getting an Arthur Fiedler album. Buy this album for the more obscure and hard to find marches ('American Patrol' and 'River Kwai March' are my favorites)."
