Pirates - the whole recording, but not professionals
Phantom of the Opera - a good recording, but missing some of the parts because it's not a complete band - also, those are FAST tempos. Graber will probably not go that fast.
Phantom of the Opera - the whole thing and MOSTLY right - correct keys, but not exactly the same as ours because it includes orchestra instruments
