The Review:

I am very honored to have been sent these special 'custom cut' copies of The Last Days Of Pompeii & The Last Days of Pompeii Vol II, that were specifically made Joseph Shingler for ProgNaut.com.

Due to the time restriction at MP3.com, the songs on these versions differ slightly. (MP3.Com has a time restriction of 60 minutes per CD).

Joseph deleted two songs from Vol. I ("St. George & The Dragon" and "To Grow Old With You") but they were included on Vol. II. The special version of "Vol. II" has 6 songs unavailable on either volume.

The original version of "The Last Days of Pompeii" is also available from Joseph directly with the two deleted songs. So there's two versions of the first volume to chose from. Please click on the CD cover above to get your hands on this and the first volume!
