I need (no...I WANT) some new k discs but do not know what label to choose from. (Which sound near to the original tracks).

My genre of music would be Country and Bluegrass both modern and old. Suggestions on the best label would do then I can see if I can find anything and purchase from the UK.

Also I,m looking for k tracks for

Billy Ray Cyrus
Freddy Fender
(Just cannot find any)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Now boy's no arguments on the suggestions of label's. :lol:

Check out Chartbuster for country. They are generally top-notch. I don't have much bluegrass, but CB60266 is decent. Recently, Music Maestro seems to have improved their quality, so for newer country, you might want to consider them as well. I like the music on Stardisc tracks, but the graphics are substandard IMO.

I agree that Chartbuster is usually top notch on Country (though not very good elsewhere).

However, I always find myself going to DK especially for classic and 70s-80s country. Even though out of print for a while you'll find DK Millenium sets around, for individual discs you're going to have to go to eBay.

The only (slightly) annoying thing about DK is there is a vocal assist melody that is more pronounced on some tracks than others. I find most singers overshadow it so you can't hear it and on some tracks you can hardly hear it at all. I've heard it put many singers back on track when they were way off though so it has its positives and negatives. I have always loved their arrangements so I use them all the time.

h1000,

I have the classic country collection, it is excellent. Best collection I have, the 80's, 90's, etc are good, but there seems to be more "filler" than on the Classic set. Recommend it highly.

also, if you can get any of the Pioneer country series (cdg or dvd), you'll find their stuff as well!

I have about a dozen of the Karaoke Bay CD+G's. I've found then far better than the Singing Machine, MTV, and other similar brands you find in chain store. I've had no problems with any of them and the quality is usually well above average.

BTW, they don't sell direct at all - only to mass merchants (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Fred Meyers, etc). Web site is pretty sparse and I've not been able to get a catalog of their products to pick what I want. Have to got to the stores and look through them all every couple weeks. :roll:

For oldies try top hits monthly flashback series. they blow away most anything else I have used.

chartbuster is good for country, and soundchoice is good for rock.
