Here's a story. When I bought my first "high-end" system and my very first CD player in 1984 (a 600 dollar Yamaha that had the features of a 60 dollar CD player 5 years later) this was one of 2 CD's I bought that day. The Compre 1 speakers (long, long out of business) handled the crack of the cannons really well and amazed everyone who heard it. I also put a house up my nose that year while designing jets for Beechcraft and wish I could remember more.
