CD Reviews

Duped by a label I trust...

"DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS SHAMELESS ATTEMPT TO MAKE MORE MONEY FROM CD'S WE HAVE ALL HAD SINCE 1992-1995. I have always loved the Rhino label because it always seems like they are music lovers making products for other music lovers. But I would put the insult of this box set up there with the kind of thing that Sony or Universal would do. All Rhino has done with this set is put eight cd's that we all already have (if you don't already have them, you can get them a lot cheaper than buying this set), putting it in a box with no booklet, placing a label on the outside that has a 2008 copyright, and selling it for $80. I repeat: NO REMASTERS, NO BONUS TRACKS, AND NO BOOK. This is shameless and a definite bruise on Rhino's reputation, as far as I am concerned. I will be contacting Rhino about this crime of false advertisement, as well."

A True War Fan's review

"Although many of the major albums are present, there is still a great deal of their catalog that is missing. For instance, the two they had cut w/ Eric Burdon (Eric Burdon declares "War") and (The Black-Man's Burdon). "Love Is All Around" is missing as well as the last two albums by the original band "Galaxy" and "Youngblood." Let's not forget Music Band & Music Band 2. In sum, lot's of great music missing.

Would like to see a true collection; one w/ all albums digitally remastered plus additional and rare tracks. I know producer Jerry Goldstein recorded the hell out of these guys, so, I wonder what's holding up all those gems from the vaults!"
