Well... yes and no... I love some old issues of I Classici
"Topolinissimo", "I Classici di Paperino", etc... and they are
all excellent compilations, not original recordings.

That's right: this pool has some limitations: first of all it is
just for people who surf the internet, then just for the ones who
happen to visit the page where the pool is, and then again just
for the few who bother to express their opinion: it doesn't have
an absolute value, but I'm sure that if we could check the pool's
results with the average sales of Disney issues there won't be
significative differences.

It would be surealy a more interesting way of pooling, but the
service is a free one, you have to take it "as-is".
