This is a first, here is a actual review of one of my later compilations, called Retro Christmas. The review is by CaptainOT, the guy who runs the quite popular A Christmas Yuleblog. I was very surprised when I found out about it. I never expected (or had any hopes) to see anyone review a compilation of mine, they are created on a strictly have-fun-and-share-it basis. Thank you for your very nice review Captain! Since the compilation has not been available to download for the past couple of weeks – I have decided to upload it again.
