This is an outstanding collection of previously released renditions of Beatles songs for string quartet, chamber trio, guitar and orchestra, and chamber orchestra. You may recognize the names Ofra Harnoy or John Bayless. It was on sale at Amazon.com for 99 cents, but only for 5 days! Apparently it was too popular and they couldn't afford the royalties. Why they didn't just raise the price is beyond me, but now you can only stream it if you have an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, plus it's available on Youtube. You can still buy it for 99 cents at the purchase link above, but I don't know for how long. Highly recommended—please feel free to share widely!

What a great share (and thanks for the heads up on the .99 cent site) -- but is anyone else having problems with some of the selections being corrupted and unable to load? Specifically selections #23, 24, 25, 26 & 27 as well as selections #55 & 61? All the rest loaded and play beautifully.

Thanks again

@Truegatorguy, I downloaded the file and checked the tracks. They played fine for me. There's a problem with the Pressburg Chamber Orchestra tracks, in that they split the master up incorrectly. The first second of each song plays at the end of the preceding track. It's that way at Youtube, also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn3ckXGrlNY&list=PLQv4oCoexSiGG2lLL7txT8Ov4nvp3gy7C&index=23. I suggest you download the file and extract the tracks again.

As for the track problem I mentioned, I have the original Pressburg release, and the problem does not exist on those tracks. When I have time, I will upload them.

Hey, Riegel -- thanks for shooting that message back. I had tried downloading the file again, with the same results. Initially it was blocking ALL the files, but I was able to open the archive and extract each file individually, except for files #23-27, and #55, all of which are Pressburg Chamber Orchestra tracks. I suspected my archiver (Hamster Zip archiver) to be the culprit, as I've had problems before with certain files, but this was the first time I tried opening it manually -- which, again, worked(!) but it was a lot of work extracting almost 50 files by hand. Worth it, though. Thanks again for the share!

If you do wind up uploading the Pressman tracks again, please let me know.

Have a great day!
