Customer Reviews:

A must for the Saxon afficionado.......2004-11-05

I agree with the previous reviews, well said.
This one is not a 'choppy' collection as most readers have probably purchased in the past. This one was put together by band members and is truly a collector's gem. The packaging is wonderful and the music flows together like a 'real' album!
After listening to this one I have newfound respect for Graham Oliver's mesmorizing guitar work.
If you are a fan of the early albums, you simply have to get this. If you like the slicker, more pop-oriented stuff of the mid-80's, you could probably do without it (until you understand how incredible 'Denim and Leather' is).
;-)
Graham and Steve, please find more material and release another collection as cool as this...regards,
Pete
