5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the CD, not the download if you want the first two albums!, February 8, 2011

This review is from: The Early Years (MP3 Download)

If you are new to the NMA, and you don't own Shake Hands With Shorty and Phantom 51, then buy the CD version of this. I've got it and it has BOTH the first and second albums own two CDs! I guess they re-worked it for release as a download.

As a download, I give this three stars, since it's not both albums. As a CD, I give it all five stars because it's got both albums on it.

MY home had been burglarized and I was replacing "essential CDs" I had Shake Hands with Shorty and was kind of thinking of Phantom 51, when I picked this CD up and read the set list. I looked at Shory and Phantom and all of both are on it! Well, for the price of one CD, I got two great releases.

I don't need to rave about the music. There are plenty of reviews that do this. I'm just letting any newbies out there know that for the same money, take the trouble to go find the CD version and then rip to mp3. I've got every release the boys have done, plus downloads that have been offered on their web site from time to time, and NMA are definitely in the top 4-5 of my all-time favorite bands.

Shake 'em on down!
