In reply to an opinion of my original mail about the quality
of 'Dykes recording of Montage Jim Britcliffe wrote:-

Which is fine. But, there is still the hard evidence 
( the recording itself ) that Black Dyke Play the piece 
wrong.

I am not talking about the interpretation of the 
piece that may or may not be to everyones taste,
I am talking about the wrong rhythms from the Horns
and Percussion, The wrong notes that are played 
in the Solos etc..

A quote from a recent mail from Graham Young on a 
different topic states:-

It sounds like it after you listen to the CD.

Perhaps the quote should have read :-
BDM can learn to get to the end of a piece
in two rehearsals, it takes them a bit longer 
to play it correctly though.

Thats fine if you want to record a CD and earn
a few quid. But if Black Dyke can't be bothered
to practice the pieces to reasonable standard 
then I don't see why the rest of us should be 
bothered to buy and listen to half hearted attempts
of test pieces.
