Digital Booklet
Merrie England contains remastered historical recordings made by the Band of the Grenadier Guards between 1923 and 1934, featuring works by Sir Edward German together with selections of traditional British music. German went on to become one of England’s finest composers of light operetta, second only to Sir Arthur Sullivan. The title track Merrie England, written in 1902, is set in the days of Queen Elizabeth I and contains songs such as Dan Cupid Hath a Garden (The Perfect English Rose), The Yeomen of England and Robin Hood’s Wedding.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
