What a great CD this is. Nine originals are Volume Eight contains an even wider variety, complemented by Ben's 2007 updates of The including the usual guitars, saxes, even a marching Fireballs' Torquay, Beatles' Strawberry Fields, band and whistling!! This is an excellent series, Blackfeather's Seasons, Uncle Bert's Ginchy, marred (only slightly) by varying sound levels and Zombies' She's Not There and the best of all, Dave the sometimes intrusive clicks and pops. Above all, Bridge's Bondi Stomp. Ben's exciting guitar work the vast majority of tracks are extremely rare. (utilizing Guild, Fender, Maton and other models) is super, and the backing by Nikki Scarlett (bass) and Denis Close (drums) is solid and sympathetic.
