The is a CD being released by Phillips called "The Very Best of Grimethorpe Colliery UK Coal Band". This is a re-issue of a recording done in 1976 called Grimethorpe Colliery Band Plays Brass Favourites with "Those magnificent men in their flying machines" added as the first track.
My Gripe is the nerve they (Phillips) have in saying its the "Very best" as if its a new recording of the best stuff the bands done over its long history, when its just a re-issue and hoping the public won't notice, also using the bands current name when UK Coal didnt even exist when the recording was done.
It's always nice to have old recordings re-issued but not when its mis-leading the public as to what it actually is, I also know there is sod all that can be done about this as the band were probably paid a fee for the original recording and the rights passed on to the publishers.
Anyway - Gripe over
