Is it a crap record label or better than average among re-issue budget labels? Being a Radio Luxembourg fan, I have a copy of The Best Of Radio Luxembourg And found it to be a pretty good collection I also just got a copy of Kent Walton presents Honey Hit Parade (GGL 0129) which I'll scan soon, and it too is rather nice Any thoughts -- are these 208 related LPs the best of the bunch on Golden Guinea Amy

In Classical there were re-releases of major orchestras, like The London Philharmonic Orchestra

After all once the music is on tape, studio fees dont apply so prices can be dropped. Presumably these were originally retailed at 21bob
