5.0 out of 5 stars BOOK OF REVELATIONS, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sex America Cheap Trick (Audio CD)

This set is an important testament to the diversity of Cheap Tricks musical past. Its all here, including B-sides, live cuts, out-takes, and under-appreciated album tracks that deserve to be heard. Included for good measure are big hits from albums like Dream Police and Budokan, but the real excitement here stems from the fine taste shown in track selection. The scrap-book style interior is loaded with pix and is fun to to look at. The extensive liner notes are a crash course in CT History 101, and the track listing inside has artists comments on many of the songs. This a quality set that shows time and a lot of care in its creation, and is a steal for the price!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good addition to any fan's collection, July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sex America Cheap Trick (Audio CD)

Don't look to this boxed set to replace any regular-issue Cheap Trick CDs you own. It's its own animal, a great way to augment your collection. As the band did the selection process themselves, the emphasis was on a lot of unrealeased performances (many of them live) and underheard B-sides, songs for soundtracks, demos, etc.. Much of it is prime pickings; the only disc that starts to get wobbly midway through is #4, showcasing their late Eighties period, which sucked for the most part. But even there, you get some gems that emerge, such as "Money Is The Root Of All Fun" and "Fortune Cookie." High points include: The complete version of "If You Want My Love," with an additional bridge that makes a terrific song even better; a live version of "The Ballad Of T.V. Violence," which growls out of the speakers; and "I'm The Man," "Born To Raise Hell" and "Ohm Sweet Ohm," three songs from an obscure animated movie that would have been splendid additions to any of their albums. There are other great finds here, too; get this one, but hang on to your original albums all the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great box set!, January 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sex America Cheap Trick (Audio CD)

I don't go anywhere without taking this with me. I like all the alternate versions of their old stand-by songs, like I Want You to Want Me. If there were anything I would change, it would be to add Don't Be Cruel and the alternate version of Surrender. The book that comes along with it is a great bonus in my opinion.
