Martin,

There really should be only one band with this march in their library - and
yes it's Besses.

The march ' World Tour' was composed by Alex Owen for the Besses world tour
in 1906/07 and was originally called ' Round The World'. It's never been
published.

IMHO this is the best march ever written ( and probably the most difficult,
I don't know many bass sections that would get anywhere near it!).

Besses have recorded it twice to my knowledge.
