Amazon used / published this review on 8 April 2010 as I (16th to May 2011) had to say today, for two box sets of Patti Smith, who discussed by me box with five CDs and one newly released box of 24 September 2010 with the three CDs Gone Again (1996), Peace and Noise (1997) and Gung Ho (2000)! What can be clearly seen even at the old title. This also applies to the review of "Touche", the well treated or released, was.
Equipment and Recommendation (on my part) but are the same. But if you want to buy three CD box, should set the five box at first that simplifies understanding.
This nonsense of Amazon to use multiple reviews is incomprehensible to me, because you suddenly without guilt, as the last of Depp. Whoever acts with music, should also be able to read reviews properly and adjust!
Here the original review for the box with five albums:
The as "box set" called Original Album Classics compilation includes the first five albums by Patti Smith 1975-1988:
# Horses (1975)
# Radio Ethiopia (1976)
# Easter (1978), responsible with the atypical hit "Because the Night" for the Bruce Springsteen recorded
# Wave (1979)
# Dream of Life (1988) - the first (comeback) album after their long hiatus and the death of her husband Fred "Sonic" Smith (the guitarist of MC5)
All included a CD with bonus tracks the republishing of (gramophone) records.
The CDs are delivered but pure in Pappschubern with the respective original cover art as an image, but without Bocklet. In summary, in turn, a slipcase, very unspectacular - and probably that's why as low.
Recommended this cardboard box is for two groups:
1. All those who have the originals in vinyl and (however few) get annoyed bonus tracks on the missing or simply want to preserve their old treasures, or the music so much easier than MP3 want to get template, because this is true then the Price-Performance Ratio! Collectors and Cover Freaks should however leave it alone.
2. Those who want to learn for little money, why this woman in her early days was so revolutionary and set standards for the Punk and New Wave scene, and how she made then continue.
To understand Patti Smith wirklch, but should be borne in mind that for these five albums (and another musical hiatus) still followed by other albums. Currently these are:
# Gone Again (1996)
# Peace and Noise (1997)
# Gung Ho (2000)
# Trampin '(2004)
# Twelve (2007) only cover versions
# The Coral Sea (2008), reading with music
Who can live with it - or just was curious - can access safely!
And who wants to know more, go and buy their books.
