There must have been some big sale or merger or something that just happened. Here is another old WEA release that is on BMG. Did Warner jump out of the music business?

The big omission here is the first EP which is as good as anything on here and was picked up by Atlantic at the time...so there isn't really any good excuse to leave it out of this set.

Some great stuff in this box-

The press releases for this are really hyping the vinyl version of this and just mentioning the CD version as an afterthought. There have been new masters for the vinyl, and it kind of makes me wonder if they also used those masters as the basis for this CD set? I'm guessing no as it's not specifically mentioned in the press release, but if these are the new vinyl masters put on CD, it could be a real nice set for CD buyers.

:facepalm:

Especially as it is apparently long OOP with the commensurate prices on the second-hand market *AND* it could have easily been added to Out Of The Cellar as bonus tracks without having to press an extra disc.

There was an exact box set by this name done by Hear No Evil/Cherry Red in 2020.

The bonus tracks were just single edits or remixes.

Reviews were very good for the sound.

Is this using the same sources?

Even though Atlantic briefly distributed the EP, the rights remained with Time Coast.
So BMG would have to make a separate deal to include that EP.

Is it even streaming anywhere?

A few years back, I bought a Ratt comp.

I did have Out Of The Cellar and Invasion Of Your Privacy back in the LP daze, but is it really worth having the classic catalogue?
