Splendid playing and a real trip down memory lane. I remember buying this LP when I was at school - I'm 66 now. And I once earned an extra day's leave for knowing that Kenneth J. Alford and Leo R. Stanley ('The Contemptibles') were brothers. I probably learnt it from the sleeve notes.

The Airborne Division march is very underrated and underplayed in my opinion. Only heard it played once till now. That was an old recording, I think Irish Guards, so its great to hear it again in a "new" recording. And look at the size that band, about 60 musicians and all beardless!
