Anthology 1978-1983 - Chrome

Advantages: Great tracks that sit happily between soft and hard rock
Disadvantages: Some weaker moments and not everyone's cup of tea

...Magnum were formed in 1972 in Birmingham (always a hot-bed of metal talent) by singer Bob Catley and guitarist Tony Clarkin. Both initial members are still in the band which in itself is quite rare and in 1978 they signed a contract with Jet Records following a suggestion from Jeff Lynne (ELO) and run by Don Arden (Sharon Osbournes dad) which resulted in the release of their first long player - Kingdom of Madness. They never really hit the big time sadly despite touring with the likes of Judas Priest and Def Leppard. In 1998 this compilation of their greatest hits(sic) was released by Castle Communications and contained songs which, as well as containg all the A and B sides of their singles, included many tracks selected by fans of the band showcasing their career from 1978 to 1983.

...WWE: Anthology contains previously unreleased entrance themes as well as the ones they still use today. Producers include: James A. Johnston, Jimmi Hart, JJ Maguire, Rick Derringer, Keny Bernhard.

...**This review was originally posted by me (benraiben) on another opinion site. I found this UK site and have signed up (more convinient being British) and posting this previously written review by myself here. - This work has not been stolen.** Young Lust: Gathering 34 songs from Aerosmith's career This was my second Aerosmith album which I purchased. As mentioned in my other review, I don't judge the songs as to if they live up to songs earlier in Aerosmith's career. I just judge the songs for as they are. I don't see any point complaining about what isn't on the CD but should have been. Take it for what it is, is what I say. This Geffen Anthology of Aerosmith songs consists of 2 CDs in which tallies up 34 songs. One major problem is, if you have a collection of Aerosmith songs already, you are in danger of having duplicates... Read review
