Just to keep things straight, this set is not covering any of the hair metal or pop metal bands outside of the LA scene which is why you wont see any Def Leppard, Slaughter, Kix, and other bands who were outside of the LA scene. That being said, if you have any interest in the LA music scene of the 80's then this is the only collection you will ever need. All of the names you know are here plus a great deal of unknowns that were popular acts during the 80's. This set spans from the early days of LA Metal with a lot of heavier, more Sabbath and Zeppelin influence present, through the glam era, and out into the early 90's where the sound was back to it's roots. The reason the 80's LA club scene worked was because of the bands. By reading the booklet that comes with the collection, which by the way is extremely informative, it is evident that members from all of these bands knew eachother and were often times switching bands. It truly makes the so called "family tree" of LA metal quite interesting. The music though is what stands out and here the music is all great. All of these songs were hits at least out on the Sunset Strip and it is clear to see why. I find myself listening to these disks more than almost any of my other cd's or records and that is saying a lot! Absolutle must have!
