I used to have the biggest crush on the brilliant Dr. King...xo

[rmsturge]

King certainly has the Midas touch ...

[Dazza781]

good performance but dyke was def alot better, maybe its the camara recording but the sound is better on the dyke one and the playing is alot clearer percussion especially brighouse def on the rise tho

[brassbandman1976]

A little maybe. But I´ll stick to the originals :) Im not a great fan of Titans Progress..

[falkirkfan1]
