A&M Years

I am, and have always been, a Tubes fan from the first time I read about them in CREEM magazine to buying their first album on vinyl in 1975. I continued to buy their vinyl albums as they came out. However I did not have the CDs. This five CD package was a surprise. The CDs come in mini album covers matching the original albums which makes it very cool. A great purchase. I've since found other packages from other bands like this and the price can't be beat.

Seriously underrated band. Excellent musicians, challenging songs, and great lyrics full of satire. This band should have been huge.

The sound quality is great. The packaging is faithful apart from the back cover of “Remote Control “. The gatefold inside spread of the legendary WDYWFL is cleverly inserted in the middle of the very nice booklet which accompanies the very nice clam shell box. The A&M compilation album” TRASH” is spread throughout the discs as bonus tracks, which is a good idea. My favorite album “Now” sounds excellent, but really they all do. Do not hesitate to buy this set!!!

I really like all of the albums The Tubes recorded on A&M. They all sound amazing in this boxed set. Hopefully they will do the same with the albums they did on Capitol Records. Definitely one of my favorite bands so I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of great music. I would love to see The Tubes live because of how great they sound together on every live recording I've heard by them.

this box set had five of their first albums which I have on vinyl, but wanted the CD's. A great way to preview this group if you're not familiar with them. We saw them twice in concert and were blown away.

this is a really nice 5 cd uk set that houses the cds in replica original lp artwork, wallet sleeves like mini lp sleeves that replicate the original lps BUT as someone else pointed out the live album wich was amazing back in 1977 is not replicated properly, outside of that the discs sound good enough for me as the only one i ever owned on cd is the first one wich was always there best next to the live album in my opinion, i have had the first lp as a japan import vinyl lp since something like 1980 for gods sake, i got turned on the the tubes via the first lp around 1978/79 when i was very young and i really had an ear back then for hard rock and the heavier bands as well as the punk and new wave outfits but there was just something extremely unique about the tubes, it cost like 16 bucks back in 1980 or so wich was a lot of money for a kid my age but i bought the japan lp import copy of the first album as i liked what was on it and loved the sleeve, i bought it in the import section at the old tss record world in there then amazing import section, anyway white punks on dope was amazing for that time and i was off to the races, the tubes did very well in the uk and did not seem to do so great here in the us back then but by the early 1980s they where making big headway here but i was not really into all that shes a beauty crap in 1982/83 and i honestly felt the last great record was the double live one. anyway for the price this was a great bargin for me to get the 5 best tubes records on cd in a clam shell box in this compact format as i have so many lps i have to be careful what i buy on vinyl becouse im out of room after almost 40 years of collecting, also the gem is you get the best tubes records in chronological order from 1975 to 79 and as stated here by someone else THAT WAS THERE BEST PEROID!!!!!!!!!!!!! this gets 4 stars becouse there is plenty of room on each disc for bonus tracks wich would have made this nicer but as a casual fan this works for me....

This is a must have for any Tubes fan. Worth the price alone for What do you want from Live! And the long out of print Young and Rich - must have for anyones collection.

Excellent sound quality...packaging nice..can"t complain...got all Tubes LP up to Todd's masterpiece Remote Control..what's not to like?

Un coffret intéréssant qui regroupe les albums de 1975 à 1979, la période la plus prolifique et creative de ce groupe. 1 bonus track sur Young and Rich et 2 sur Remote Control. Un peu dommage de ne pas avoir l'intégralité des visuels accompagnant les albums. Le Son et la remasterisation des albums est plutot correct. ce coffret de 5 cds sera un investissement utile pour ceux qui voudront découvrir l'univers dejanté des Tubes.

LOS MEJORES DISCOS DE ESTA BANDA SE REUNEN AQUI, A MUY BUEN PRECIO. CON PERSONALIDAD PROPIA, THE TUBES SON UN PRODUCTO DE SU TIEMPO, PERO SUPIERON EVOLUCIONAR. AL REVÉS DE MUCHAS OTRAS BANDAS PUNK Y ASIMILADAS, THE TUBES TIENEN UN GRAN SONIDO Y UN EXCELENTE DIRECTO...

I've had these albums since their original vinyl release but only ever found their first album and What Do You Want From Live on CD. When I saw this box set was going to be released I jumped on it. Great price too! So nice to finally have all 5 of their A&M albums (their best, IMO) on CD.

Great Records.

Eine der besten Rockbands aller Zeiten. Die Retrospektive zum günstigen Preis.
