Title: A Pathetic Remake of the Original.
Review: "Pathetic," anemic," and "emasculated" are words to describe this sorrowful remastering. Anyone who remembers the original, powerful 33rpm recording will be disappointed with this CD. What ruins this CD is the perceptible reduction in the audio, making the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra sound more like front music in Tin Pan Alley. The other problem is the castration of the sound effects. Gone are the roar of big guns from "Allies on the March," for example. Also oddly lacking are the fighter aircraft sounds from "Marianas Turkey Shoot," the multiple horns and whistles from "Ship That Pass," etc.,etc.,etc. Suffice to say those of us who remember the original...please pass on this CD, not worth a bucket of warm spit by comparison.
