Description
‘The A&M Years’ is a 5 CD, 59 track round up of The Tubes time with A&M Records between 1975-79, which includes the self titled debut album which gave them a worldwide hit in ‘White Punks On Dope’. Follow ups ‘Young And Rich’, ‘Now’, and the Todd Rundgren produced ‘Remote Control’. Always a sensational live act, the in-concert album ‘What Do You Want From Live’ completes the set. Housed in a sturdy box, each disc comes in a replica cardboard wallet of its original LP artwork along with a booklet containing pictures of all the records plus in-depth liner notes by Classic Rock’s Dave Everley.

5 cd's......... Wonder if there's any rarities. It would be beyond cool to finally have an official version of Suffer For Sound.

They did 6 albums + a best of for A&M; I am very curious what's going to be on this.

don't forget 't.r.a.s.h."

this 5 CD set will most likely not include either 't.r.a.s.h." or the live album (can the live album fit on 1 CD?)

News of this release might explain why the heretofore difficult-to-find Young and Rich CD turned up in the used section at Academy Records just yesterday.

I think you're right; I did count the live album which would be 5. Don't know what I was thinking. Hope this is more than just the 5 packaged together. An official release of the LA show that Love Will keep us Together, & the "Jackson Browne" version of White Punks were taken from would be cool also; as would remasters of the WGV live shows of the era.

Yes, it's been out in the UK on 1 cd for over a decade.

Not having much of anything on these guys I am very interested in this. And Caroline UK likes to add bonus tracks to their sets.

The A&M albums are all essential imo (possibly other than Remote Control which was the last).

I really hope for rarities, I am a HUGE fan.

By my count, the 5 albums shown have 56 tracks. My guess is they're adding the 3 "exclusives" from Trash: Love Will Keep Us Together, & the medley of the live intro & single version of White Punks.

If you don't already own these, they are great albums; but I SUSPECT their is nothing new here.

Rick, if the 59 track # is correct; I really (sadly) don't think that will be the case. If it has a significant # of bonus trax; I would be in also. I was really hoping for Suffer For Sound (the unreleased album recorded before Remote Control which includes Drivin All Night which ended up on TRASH). I was likely wrong calling the TRASH White Punks medley 2 separate songs.

So my prediction is the 3 bonus tracks will be the 3 Trash exclusives: Love Will Keep Us Together, White Punks "Jackson Browne" version, & Drivin All Night.

Also, the release date has been pushed back a week to August 11th, and the UK pre-order price has dropped by £6, down to £23.92:

I bought the first album on MFSL Silver while out in LA back in May. Supposedly that's now rare.
I had the lp way back when and have the original CD release, one of my favorite albums.

I was close; no Love Will Keep Us Together.

If you don't have any Tubes, these are their best albums.

It's there, Geff. It's a bonus track on Young And Rich.

Didn't look there. Weird place, probably due to time on the cd's. It was recorded at the same show as the White Pinks bonus track.

Again, there is nothing new here; but if you don't already own the A&M catalog, this is an opportunity to get every officially released track in one place.

To me, with the possible exception of Remote Control, this is all essential music.
