really good

I can hardly believe it! Never in my lifetime would I guess to witness such a grand occasion! A Venom box set is something I only dreamed of. The box set itself is put together the same way as Motorhead's "Stone Deaf Forever." It is packaged in a sturdy box with a plastic inlay and each cd is in an individual jewel case. Also included is a reprint of an old poster and a great 60 page book full of rare photos, news paper and magazine clippings, discography and a revealing history of one of the world's most infamous bands. This Box will not dissapoint. I highly recommend this set even to the most seasoned Venom fans. For one thing, the book is worth the money, in my opinion, and second, the 4th disc which contains all of the Venom "Assault" series. The only one that didn't make it was the Japanese assault. This set was compiled by Cronos himself and I think he did a pretty good job putting it together. True, none of the music from "Prime Evil, Temples of Ice and Wastelands" made the set, but there is history written about it. Besides, the Cronos, Mantas and Abbadon trio was the best and everyone knows that! What I mean to say is that this box set has everything that counts. Within it's contents you will hear the music that Venom is known for. This is the type of stuff your parents did not want you to listen to. Venom is one of the best examples of how mean and ugly metal can be. They were like a greasy engine fuelled on the most potent of riffs. They gave no mercy and expected none in return. The only gripe I have about this set is that there was no DVD included. The "7 Dates of Hell" video would have been the icing on the cake. All in all, I was not dissatisfied with Venom's collection. If your into real heavy metal, this is for you!

Inutile de courir après les compilations nombreuses, tout y est. L'objet est magnifique en plus. Des heures d écoutes et de lectures

Great CD

リマスター盤のボーナストラックでレア音源はほぼ出尽くしているはず。 レア音源だけを集め直して、改めてボックスで出されても 箱とジャケにしか価値を見出せない。 PRIESTやSLAYERやSABBATHみたいにCDはほぼ既発表音源のみだとしても レア映像のDVDでも付ければ気が利いてるのに・・・。 これを買うぐらいなら85年Hammersmithの輸入DVD買った方が全然良い。 "Live In England"というタイトルでDVDのコーナーで買えます。
