I OWN ALL THREE OF THESE ALBUMS ON VINYL AND NOW HAVE THIS GLORIOUS COLLECTION ON CD -MY FAVORITE OF THE THREE IS STRANGE UNIVERSE BUT I ALSO LOVE THE THE TWO PREVIOUS LP'S THAT LED TO THE MAKING OF STRANGE UNIVERS ONE OF THE GREATEST LP'S OF ALL TIME ALONG WITH HENDRIX'S CRY OF LOVE AND CAPTAIN BEYOND - THIS MAN IS TRULY TALENTED AND INSPIRED.
HIS MUSIC MOVES MY SOUL AND HAS REAL PASSION-SOMETHING I HAVEN'T FELT IN MUSIC IN A LONG TIME. THESE THREE ALBUMS STAND ALONE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GET MAXOON - I LOVE THE LP IT IS A RAW -NON-PRETENIOUS PRESENTATION OF TALENT TO COME IN CHILD OF NOVELTY YOU HEAR FRANK POLISH HIS SIX STRING SHOOTER AND STRANGE UNIVERSE IS WHERE HE SLAYS THE COMPETITION- THESE ALBUMS ARE NOTHING LIKE IV THE EMPEROR AND ANYONE THAT ISN'T A TRUE MARINO HEAD MAY MISINTERPET IV AS A STAB AT COMMERICALISM -NOT TRUE FRANK MARINO IS TOO TALENTED TO BE OR BECOME A COMMERICAL CORPORATE ROCKER AND I FOR ONE RESPECT HIM FOR THAT-CBS DIDN'T AND DROPPED HIM FROM THEIR LABEL AFTER JUGGERNAUT -THIS GUY IS STILL PRODUCING MUSIC THAT IS AMAZING -INTRICATE -AND BEAUTIFUL.THE 2 TIMES I SAW HIM LIVE WITH MAHOGANY RUSH HE LEFT ME AND THE AUDIENCE BREATHLESS -STUNNED AND AMAZED - I LISTEN A LOT TO HIS NEW LIVE ALBUM AND REMEMBER THOSE TIMES FONDLY-OH CAN YOU DIG THE SHEEP GODDESS????? FAN FROM MAXOON TERRY THE -K-

frank marino picked up where jimi hendrix left off, i say this very losely. there has been alot of comparison to hendrix but frank does have his own style and should not be labled a hendrix clone. this album if you want to buy one frank marino and mahogany rush album this is it. you get 3 lps 2 cds.from start to finish classic rock at its best. these came out in the early 70s and frank was only 16 or 17 on maxoom his first album. you listen to these cds and the sound is amazing, today much music is polished up and over produced. this is over 30 years old and it sounds so raw but yet so good. what all great music should sound like. after hearing these albums im sure you will be like me and by all the rest. frank marino is a musicains musician and he plays for the people. he is an overlooked and forgoten guitar legend. hear the music feel the music and judge for yourself. frank marino is a true living legend.

A compilation of the first 3 albums. Frank Marino is a superb guitar player and the music is good. This is what its all about.

a fan since the mid-1970s.......2003-08-01

Maxoom never impressed me BUT "Child of the Novelty" and "Strange Universe" impress me (and still do). Frank is a phenominal guitar player. I have also seen him in person in concert on only three occasions (drat!). If you love an absolutely searing screaming rock-and-roll, Jimi Hendrix-type, lead guitar then buy this now. However, Frank plays Jimi better than Jimi played Jimi. Purists will hate me for saying that. Of course, all of the tunes on these recordings are Frank's compositions. IMHO, his best albums are:
- "Child of the Novelty",
- "Strange Universe",
- "Mahogany Rush IV",
- "Mahogany Rush Live".
I have them all on vinyl and finding them on CD has been difficult.

Just noticed the availability of this 3-album 2-CD set and, having been a fan of Mahogany Rush from their humble beginnings, I would first and foremost recommend this mainly for the acquisition of CHILD OF THE NOVELTY. This was the first MH album I ever heard and, along with MH IV ( <--their masterpiece), knocked me out with Frank's unbelievable guitar-playing and unabashed cloning of Hendrix's style of singing and playing. It would have been cool, if Jimi would have lived, to know what he thought of this great, underrated band. Tracks like "Look Outside" and "Changing" sound like they could have come right off the ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? album. I kept hoping for a chance to see this band perform live in concert, but never got that chance. Hopefully, the boys remain together today, in some incarnation, and will tour the clubs or casinos as other 70's bands have done. I agree with the assessments of other reviewers: if you have heard great things about MH, this would be the good primer for you. I was not overly impressed with MAXOOM...but then, it was their first album and the guys were just getting their chops down. CHILD, on the other hand, kicks booty from start to finish. Not a bad song on the whole album. STRANGE UNIVERSE showed their inevitable growth, but overall didn't turn my crank as strongly as CHILD (with the exception of the sheer majesty of its title track).

If this 2-CD collection impresses you, then fasten your seat belt and latch on to a copy of MH IV, their 4th album and, IMO, their equivalent of a Sgt. Pepper album.
