At The Old Waldorf 1976-1977 (Live From The Vaults) - Mike Bloomfield

Advantages: Another towering Elvis performance
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...I'm sure you are all aware of the state of Elvis by the mid 1970s. The fried peanut butter sandwiches, on the spot purchases of Cadillacs and thousand dollar jewellery, not to mention Priscilla leaving him.....all well documented, and especially in that extremely readable book by his aides Red West and Dave Hebler (Elvis; What Happened?) His recording output had fallen away in both quality and quantity since the blockbuster 1969 release of From Elvis In Memphis, although he could still "pack em in" for the live shows. By now The King could not even be bothered to turn up for recording sessions.

Advantages: long track listing, 13 CDs, bonus songs, nice box
Disadvantages: not all original studio albums

...Let me just start by saying that I am a monstrously huge fan of Aerosmith, so it is going to be difficult to be unbiased. But I will do my best, I promise. This boxed set is well presented in an impressive flame covered box, with a match as the handle. Inside the box, there sits 13 CD’s, 12 albums and 1 bonus disc. The albums that are included within are all Aerosmith’s early albums, from 1973 through to 1986. The bonus disc includes rarities and never before released songs. I will attempt to list all of the albums, with the original release dates: 1973 – Aerosmith 1974 – Get Your Wings 1975 – Toys In The Attic 1976 – Rocks 1977 – Draw The Line 1978 – Live! Bootleg 1979 – Night In The Ruts 1980 – Greatest Hits 1982 – Rock In A Hard Place 1986 – Classics Live... Read review

Advantages: nice music | good old classics
Disadvantages: not all the good hits are there

..., and it made number 1 in the USA charts. It was a worldwide hit, one of the best songs that they have done. This song is great, everyone has heard of this song, if not then you have not lived. It is such a good song, and very addictive. 17) We Are The Champions -------- Duration 3.01 minutes This song was written by Freddie Mercury, and it was produced by Queen and assisted by Mike Stone, yet again. This song was released into the UK at 1977 with We Will Rock You. It reached number 1 in the USA charts, and number 2 in the UK charts. The song is really good, it is addictive, easy to remember the lyrics, and I loved it, you might of heard this song in many movies, if not, then you also have not lived. The packaging, well It comes in a basic case, with a picture of the 4 people from queen, or you can get it with the premium collection which has... Read review
