It says on the case, Rory Gallagher- Original album classics. Classics they really are.
I remember seeing Rory at a venue in London, the name of which fails me at this time, i do remember it being a great night. That was on the JINX tour. An album included here, when i had to start thinking about other matters such as holding down a job, music was placed on the back burner.
This collection of Rory albums bring it all back to me. Top Priority is my favourite album here, and i suppose is the most readily accessible for most. But the biggest surprise was Rory's last ever album Fresh evidence, which is a really good album, it's satisfying that Rory went out on a high note.
Give this a try, good price and five extremely good albums. Enjoy.

This is the man who made me love Stratocaster guitars, much more influential for me than Clapton, or other exhibitionists. There is something which makes him special to my eyes: he was a normal fellow. Seeing him on stage, with his lumberjack shirt, his jeans, just bass and drums (go for The Complete Rockpalast Collection Rory Gallagher - The Complete Rockpalast Collection), is quite a revelation.
He is the blues, and he should get much more attention that what he really gets.
In this five CD collection you get a very good impression of what he sounded like: from blues, to rhythm and blues, thru folk... and most of the time you can hear the guitar breathing together with all the instruments (you can feel the way he moves his fingers, you can follow the bass, you can listen to the bass drum kicking the song away) in the studio, a component which I miss in the recordings of many other blues musicians (and musicians in general, who have become victims of hi-fi recordings, with no spirit whatsoever).
If you want to listen to honest music, go for this, you won't regret it.

Got into Rory nearly a year ago. This box set shows Rory's versatility - blues, rock, acoustic- he can play it all. Look out for "Nothin but the Devil", "Bad Penny" and "Barley and Grape Rag" This man is without doubt the best guitarist ever, and he is up there with the best songwriters too. His lyrics are clever and subtle. He sings and plays the blues with raw emotion, his rock is high energy and his acoustic material is warm, with touches of humour. To fully appreciate this man's remarkable talent you need to see the DVDs of his live performances - they will just blow you away - his energy is amazing. The love he has for his music just shines through. Rory's music gets under your skin and into your soul - it has mine. So just get hold of as much of his material as you can, enjoy it and be happy and thankful for the incredible music Rory has given us.

Wow, as good as it gets
I cannot believe the value in this package and more important the quality throughout. The five albums are from different periods in Rory's career and display just how good he was. Read more
