5.0 out of 5 stars So Very Happy....., Dec 7 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Ordered my copy today and I await it's arrival. I got the best
price of the bunch from importcds....Again! I love BS&T and have
been a fan for 4 decades plus. The "horn" bands from the late sixties
really made their mark. Chicago Transit Authority comes to mind in an
instant. So many of the hits are on this 2CD set along with some lesser
known cuts. I honestly believe this is well worth it......Go ahead.....ATC.

5.0 out of 5 stars As The Ashes Burn....., Dec 4 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ashes Are Burning (Audio CD)
I just bought this for one simple reason....Remaster!
I have the first "Rep" pressing and I hope that this
follows as the superior version. All of the Renaissance
discs from this label are steller. Packaging is cool too!
Best bet is for me to come on back with an UPDATE....CD
arrived Xmas Eve and as I suspected the sonics are great!
The "Rep" label does a good job again. This is the version
to own. The packaging is replica gatefold and beats out the
previous 1995 pressing, which I now can sell....Enjoy the "voice"
PS...this was initially recorded in 1973, almost 40 years old!

4.0 out of 5 stars Riders on the Storm.......C/V, Dec 4 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Odd prog project....not all of the 14 cover versions offered
here hit the mark. Some weak lead vocals on a number of tracks
brings it down to a "generous" 4 stars. With Rod Argent on keys
for a satisfying "Riders on the Storm" I'm listening for more!...
It is on right now as I type this. First impressions never get
second chances....as a whole, this 71 minutes is a novelty and you
know what happens to novelties? Not built to last.....You're choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miles Away....., Dec 4 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Original Album Series (Audio CD)
This 5 CD set hit my mailbox today. The deal is clear. I paid
about 5 dollars a disc, a little less actually! The sound is the
same as the early releases.....reliable. These 5, unremasters....
are the least expensive if you search these out on the Amazon....
The first song I played was, of course, 'Hypnotized' from "Mystery to Me".
The first two of this box set I do not own so that's a great bonus.....
"Then Play On" and "Kiln House" will be part of the still growing collection.
If you want early Mac....no Nicks.....take this on. It's definetly worth it.....
There will always be...."Future Games".....

5.0 out of 5 stars Annie's Debut......, Dec 3 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Prologue (Audio CD)
I got a lot of great FYI from the previous reviews. It is one of
the good things about the online experience. I will order this as
I already own great remasters of the next 3 discs that follow this
one. It's time to get this in my stable of early seventies material.
Of course I love Annie Haslam's vocals. That's part of the draw....
I'll return with the usual UPDATE....The label that released this did
a good job. The sonics are clear. There isn't any current "tech" info...
but my ears told me this is a good buy! I had forgotten this album from
the seventies but was surprised how this holds up after decades. The voice
of that woman is so appealing.....This version is worthy.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Alert Cancelled.....Glitch-fixed......., Nov 17 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Reviewers have stated that there is a defect on one of the discs.
Has this been confirmed by Amazon.com and/or the record company?
Let's find out for sure as in buyer beware.....I'll wait the verdict....
UPDATE....The eagle has landed! I went to the "Tull" webpage and got
the word. They will fix the glitch and replace the disc for buyers....
I waited as I was warned early....I'll purchase the "new" version.
UPDATE....Turns out the "fixed" DVD is on the street. One reviewer has
sent and recieved his replacement disc. I've ordered from Amazon but
they are out of stock....I'll wait again......SUPER UPDATE....I just
put in my order...today APRIL 30th 2013. I'll return with the official
UPDATE when this arrives.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Brothers......, Nov 17 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)
Great comp of the "Silver"....The remaster is worth the price
I paid. The song selection is satisfying. Like most BGO efforts
the sound quality is above average. I have the recent, first 7
single album remasters and all the cuts on this are from those
discs. I have always dug this band since the first listen in the
early seventies. Saw them live at the old Victory Burlesque here
in town. Show was packed. What a memory! This is well worth it for
a new listener. This is O.H.S. all the way.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Slowhand 2012 Deluxe Box Remaster......, Nov 13 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The reviews regarding Slowhand are all ancient. The slate should be
clean as it was released only....today! December 18th. I got a great
deal on this set. I'm a happy customer. Thanks Amazon.....The deluxe
set is a real groove and it costs a few....but it may well be collector
material. The price might drop, time will tell. The first song, "Cocaine"
sets the mood, if you get the joke, before heading into "Wonderful Tonight"...
The single disc remaster is a real good price. I bought 2 copies! I think
I'll return with a late, sonics UPDATE.....The sound is absolute....they
got it right. This product, whether you buy the single disc or the "production"
you are getting the best this has ever sounded. On first listen, I'm a believer.
December 25th 2012.....BE CAREFUL when pulling out the discs and booklet.
They are not independent of the slipcase. They are all attached. Pull out
gently and open like the pages of a book.....swing them from right to left.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Love the "Tom Cat"....., Nov 11 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tom Cat (Audio CD)
Great sounds on this disc. The young Robben Ford plays his part!
Tom Scott has a style all his own and this is my go to album by
the guy. One quiet track credits Joni Mitchell with a "refrain"...
This is jazzy enough for any ear. I'll offer two thumbs up.....
I bought the remaster from a 'seller'....a good deal! Less than ten.
Like a good vintage....74 was a very good year when this was recorded.
I was.....n-n-n-nineteen.....another good year!

5.0 out of 5 stars We Loved Them.....Back Then....., Nov 11 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Always have a fond memory of these two and their band. In the early 70's
our crew listened to each album as they were released. The females in our
gang just loved them. These remastered cuts offer a great overview of the
early stuff that appeals to me the most. This is rated a buy....and I did!
Never heard them? This is your starting line. The vocal harmonies are the
charm here and the "twangy" guitar work is kinda cool......ATC
