Original Album Classics

as advertised

Boy this trio sure brings back memories...really good ones at that!!! This is Krokus's 4th , 5th & 6th studio album I would really love to see their first three offered packaged like this as well as their other albums. As a teenager discovering Krokus was like a dream come true! It appeared to us that they sprung forth as a fully developed Classic Rock Band, being in America we basically missed their first three album's " Metal Rendez-Vous" being the first one we heard & instantly falling in love with it we scoured the record stores & head shops to find their earlier Albums. These 3 are probably my 3 personal favorites. Krokus is everything a hormone raging adolescent male is looking for in his hard rock!!! Is Krokus "formulated"? Yes, but so is AC/DC, Saxon & many other hard Rock Bands & why not if you find a formula that works why change it? Did Krokus sell out & go commercial or Top 40's NO!!! People just couldn't ignore the impact they were having on the music scene in America! Its fun listening to Krokus develop on their first three album's you can hear them struggling with the English language in one of their earlier songs they sing "we are gonna break the mind" obviously meaning "We are gonna Blow your mind" but their music never struggled with language barriers & in a Arena filled with heavy hitters like AC/DC, Nazareth, Aerosmith & Black Sabbath Krokus still made their way onto the scene...and stayed! I must say I have seen review's that the music sounds bad but that was not the case for me. I thought it sounded great but I have a really great system that allows me to change modes that allows me to choose the mode it sounds the best on.

Faithfully reproduced artwork - well-assembled, quite presentable slipcase with the fourth, fifth and sixth Krokus lp's. As I was not aware that vocalist Marc Storace had joined Krokus for the band's 4th lp. Here, you get 'Metal Rendez-vous' ('80), 'Hardware' ('81) and 'One Vice At A Time' ('81). Each disc comes housed in their specially-made glossy cardboard CD holder. I finally got to catch Krokus play a local club two summers ago. I was somewhat amazed at how much of that gig's material were from these vintage titles. A real find for old school Krokus fans. Would definitely make a swell gift. Highly recommended.

Was hoping it came in a hard case but instead 3 sleeves with CDs inside, but in great shape!

This is Krokus at there best. This is when Krokus was a metal band. You get five stars.

An replacement of my original one

In my opinion, very underrated band that has continued to produce great music.

If you need to get back to the class rock roots, this purchase is necessary. Let's face it. The new music does not sufficiently fill the void of the classic rock sound. So I had to go back in time to retrieve the only refuge of musical sanity left. I suggest you do the same.
