Yes, yes and yes!

All four of these albums are gems and near and dear to me.

I have the Japanese CDs from the late 90s (and bought them while in Toronto at Sam The Record Man's) and have been wanting an upgrade with all the b-sides and here it is!

I interviewed Robb Weir for my guitar players book and he was a true gentleman and still has the band going, but nothing was like these first 4 albums.

And that BBC disc looks awesome too!

There's got to be some other Tygers fans out there, yes?

This box set is absolutely killer.

I HIGHLY recommend to fans of guitar driven Hard Rock like Alan, John G, Jimbo, DanO and others to invest in this because it's the 4 classic albums plus BBC live recordings.

You will hear how damn good these guys were, plus you get newly remastered sound and the cool album covers which were a big part of my youth.

Please invest in this set and you will discover one of the greats of the whole NWOBH movement!

This band was quite popular placing all 4 albums on the UK charts with two of them reaching the Top 20.

I implore you to rock out!
