Further to the recent post by Dave on Christmas Brass CDs, Mr Bale (of 4barsrest and tmp 'witty' comment fame) has provided the above link to Grimethorpes 'White Christmas' Cd at a staggeringly cheap £4.25 + VAT. Also, explore that link further and you will find some excellent Chandos band Cds at the same ridiculously low price.
The pick of them in my view is Black Dyke Mills 'Complete Champions' CD which is (again in my view) some the best playing from any band ever! Contest Music (with the famous McCann Db), Salute to Youth (how fast is that last movement?), Cloudcatcher Fells (massive Fp at the end which blows me away everytime I hear it) and Royal parks (which I am not a big fan of, but the playings great!)/
There are othe recordings from that great Dyke/Parkes era as well as Grimethorpe, Faireys, Sellars, Besses etc
Buy, buy, buy!

P.S I am not a Chandos rep
