Judged to be the top 6 pipe bands in the World today.
The CD features the full championship performances in both MS&R and Medley by each band plus the medley from the 78ths. whose MSR is on Vol.2 simple because of the restriction placed on CD capacities.

A solid CD but a few things bothered me:

-No applause at the end of each track? C'mon guys! Are medleys and MSRs getting so long that you need to cut out the last few seconds of each track, all to fit the 7th place band on the first volume? Loses a bit of character if you ask me. KRL is dropping the ball here.

-Why on earth is the track order Medley first and then MSR second? Are we trying to say something here? Are listeners THAT impatient that they can't just press fast-forward or (God forbid) actually listen to a "boring" MSR (which was played before the medley on the day) before getting to the "fun stuff"?
