The HNE box set reissue of the original Babys albums was a Godsend, at least for me. The first album remaster sounds so much better. Really enjoy Live at the Capitol Theater. Nice review

The undubbed versions of the first LP are sensational - all on RU-vid They were the first band I ever saw. They supported Quo in Bournemouth in 74 Cheers Chris (The Vinyl Orchard)

Hi Phil, first time viewer from the States. So called audiophile types tend to rag on the Rock Candy releases in general for being "too loud/compressed", LOL, but I have several and I love them. Of course, I love it loud! Great review, cheers...

The Montrose debut is one of those albums where I don't feel guilty about having multiple copies. Idk why.

I’m asking for that 1973-76 collection for Xmas!! This band should have been massive. Thanks for the analysis Phil.

Excellent review Phil. straight to the point and without any excess.

Great review!

Evening Phil, have to agree i bought the rock candy ones at the beginning of the year so when i heard about this one i thought really, i had missed the rhino one so when i saw that was in it and also the mono & single edits it was wallet time again but i'm glad i did, i enjoy what they are doing with these boxes so much so that when i was ordering on amazon the suggestions led me to the boxes of Rick Derringer, Derringer, Edward Winter & Edgar Winters White Trash again all the albums, b-Sides and single edits, totally worth it in all cases, i only hope this company get round to doing the Johnny Winter albums from that period as well, Take Care and keep up the great work

nice presentation again Phil I have everything you mentioned but maybe I'll take the dive into this box

The complete recordings is false advertising. They released an album in 1987 called Mean and it’s pretty good too. This is still a great box set don’t get me wrong

Tanx Phil, now l must upgrade

Was the remastering on the Rhino versions done by Bill Ingot and Dan Hersch? I'm glad that this box was done. I had the Rhino version of the debut, but I wanted the others. Especially Jump on it, because the cover was done by Hipgnosis. It's good that the bonus content from the Rhino versions were included. There actually is a mistake in the booklet. On the Warner Bros Presents, both Alan Fitzgerald and Jim Alcivar are credited with bass

One my favorites paper money masterpiece.

hi phil, i like (and know ) the 2 first albums after don't know ?§ always black glasses , are you ok ?

Hi Phil. Good stuff. I was very much in the 'But I already have all of this?' camp. However, your masterful approach to the subject has convinced me that I do need this set after all. On the subject of Montrose collections past and present, do you own the 2000 set 'The Very Best Of Montrose' from Rhino? This is a very good single disc collection and the liner notes are outstanding. For years this was the sole representation of the band in my collection as the albums were hard to source for many years.

Phil, Since you made me aware of Montrose I'm interested. Having their 1973 Montrose cd, I was very impressed with them. In my search of Montrose I found their 5 cd set called "Montrose Album Series." Their" I Got Fire " , you have here is a six box set, has their 1973 album included, wonder if you will compare what you know about them. Thank you and look forward to your review.

Phil, I see this on Amazon and it shows the Manufacturer as HNE, is that the box set you have ?

Hi Phil, it’s always good to see what’s in the box and hear your views on the contents :) Any plans to review the GAMMA albums?

There is nothing new here. All of this has been released previously
