Toad +2ToadAMAZING KILLER HARD ROCK
this is the late MARTIN BIRCH produced version of this 1971 hard rock classic!!!! toad where from switzerland & did not seem to have a big following outside of switzerland & italy but that is a loss to the rest of the world of hard rock lovers as THIS POWER TRIO where one of the best hard rock bands who produced this amazing hard rock classic almost 52 years ago!!!!!!!!

Songs For While I'm Away + The Boys Are Back In Town Live At The Sydney Opera House October 1978 [2DVD+SHM-CD] [Limited Edition]Phil Lynott + Thin LizzyALWAYS A PLEASURE
i am giving this 5 stars for the thin lizzy upgraded audio sydney 78 concert with the tracks that have been added and did not make the original release of this concert film back when it was originally released, i feel we get the wholoe show here and what a great show this was!! this was thin lizzy in there prime & as a bonus we have GARY MOORE on guitar!!! anyway the FOR SONGS WHILE IM AWAY film is ok, i thought it would be better to be honest... most everything in the film die hard fans already know.. they interview phils now grown daughters wich is nice but i felt the book on phils life was much better.. again if you are an ulta thin lizzy fan like i have been for decades GET THIS FOR THE DVD FILM & AUDIO CD OF THE SYDNEY 78 CONCERT as more tracks have been added & the film has been enhanced very well........ also i love the promo poster that came with this..

Street Poetry [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Hanoi RocksHANOI NAILS IT ONE FINAL TIME
this was the last and next to 12 SHOTS ON THE ROCKS one of the 2 best reunion albums they did... this was originally released 15 years ago & that was hanois final curtain call... anyway i would think fans of hanoi rocks will really like this last album they did back in 07 as much as 12 shots on the rocks. it was a shame 12 shots could not come in this collection as all others did.. anyway really nice japan mini lp replica sleeve!!!, awesome sound & remastering...

Another Hostile Takeover [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Hanoi RocksVERY GOOD
i do not know why in this series they skipped over the first hanoi rocks reunion album from 2002 but we get the follow up here, this was a very good record, times had changed by 2005, sadly bands could no longer get that amazing production sound they got back in the early to mid 80s during hanoi rocks first run, still for its time this was a great record...very nice mini lp japan only reissue. great sound/ great remastering...

Blackout States [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Michael Monroe100% HARD ROCK
this was originally released back in 2015, this is a nice japan only mini lp replica sleeve and as with the last few of these from this series i feel this record holds up to the last 2, very powerful, lots of energy, loud and a great cross between hard rock & old school punk.... as i said about the previous michael monroe solo releases in this series, this is great killer oldschool 70s, 80s style powerful rock, my only complaint is this has a very digital production sound that we did not have back in the 70s or 80s... the artist cant do anything about that sadly!!! this is still a great record... ps GREAT LOUD REMASTERING......
-
I Live Too Fast To Die Young Deluxe Edition [Limited Edition]Michael MonroeGREAT AS ALWAYS
this is a very good follow up to one man gang from a few years ago... great cross between oldschool hard rock, metal and punk..... as with all of these great michael monroe solo releases the past 15 years all records are great!!! my only problem is the modern production that cant be avoided today!!!! if you like any of what monroe has done in the past YOU WILL LOVE THIS GREAT DISC. this comes with a nice bonus disc live from stockholm sweden..... great exclusive japan only packaging and awsesome remastering......
-
Sensory Overdrive [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Michael MonroeGREAT MODERN ROCK N ROLL
this was a great album michael released back in 2011, this was his second solo record after HANOI ROCKS broke up AGAIN... this may be the best solo album michael has done in the past 25 years or so and i love it!!! BACK TO 78 is great stuff.... im glad these all got budget reissues in japan in mini lp sleeve form, great remastering and great sound here, anyway i give this 4 stars ONLY becouse of the modern production!!!! i grew up in the 70s & 80s and i really miss that kind of oldschool production / sound, sadly there is nothing michael or anybody can do about that today as technology has changed....
