Format:Audio CD
The boxes "Original Album Series" are surprisingly small, because the CD's are in replica-covers of the original albums. Therefore, the sleeve-notes are in such small print that some of them are barely readable, but never mind that. This box contains the first 5 (solo-)albums Warren Zevon ever made, including the live album "Stand in the Fire". The music is everything you can expect from Warren Zevon: strong melodies and intelligent, sometimes rather sarcastic, even "biting" lyrics that strike the way they should. The box contains all of Zevons hits of the 70's and, more important, his third album "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School", which is very hard to find (for a reasonable price, that is). This Warren Zevon box is a real bargain, BIG quality for a small price. Buyers should check, however, if the 11th song on "Bad Luck Streak...", "Bed of Coals", runs the full five minutes. On some copies, the song stops after 2:57, giving 2 minutes of silence until the next (last) song "Wild Age" starts; pity. Don't let this keep you from ordering the box, Amazon gallantly refunded mine...

Warren Zevon has left us a back catalogue that is different & challenging, for a bargain price these 5 records represent some of his best work. Buy these then the rest of his records, then rebuy these records with the sleeve notes etc. These are bargain boxes but the sleeves are poorly printed i.e. you can't read them. This should not put you off these brilliant records. Warren Zevon left us a few years ago, renowned for his lifestyle the usual drink & drugs etc BUT his songs are up there with Young, Dylan & Newman. BUY ALL HIS RECORDS AND SPREAD THE WORD.

Wondering about buying this ? Go right ahead, it is worth the money just for the live album alone. Hope Warren's work grows on you just as it has me, happy listening and discovering, you are in for a treat

Untethered Genius....
Warren Zevon is - without doubt or fear of contradiction - one of the greatest songwriters never to have made a fortune, that was surely his for the taking. Read more
