It'd be nice to see how they are actually packaged. I never liked 2 on 1 releases and these have the albums all mashed together, even in some cases out of order to make it work.

For my mind, Impellitteri deserves a great, full discography, individual album rerelease of all his material. I'd love them to be available, remastered, with liner notes for each. Maybe some day.

This is sort of happened here in Brazil...

Til now, the first 4 albuns are released here individually with slipcase, but don't know if they receive a remaster...

This is awesome. I've wanted to pick up his discography for a while but haven't due to some of the releases being quite expensive and hard to find. 35 EUR isn't a bad price at all for so much music. Hopefully it'll get distributed in the US with reasonable shipping.

His albums used to be so hard to find. I remember back in the 90's I had to order them direct from the band. They were all imports except for "Stand In Line."

Yes, they were hard to fine. I have them all apart from Venom, which at the time folks said wasn't as crash hot as their other albums, so I gave it a miss. I used to listen to Impellitteri an absolute ton, with Answer To The Master, Eye of the Hurricane and Screaming Symphony being my favourite albums.

I don't know who these people are, but you should not listen to them. Venom rips.

IMPELLITTERI is one of my favorite bands and I have all their albums except for Syatem X and Pedal to the Metal. I don't care for those albums. I have all the EPs and the Live Fast Loud live album. I think I have all the songs of the bonus material. I'll have to check. Where I don't have SX and PTTM, I may get this.

I did get the other compilation they released last year to Amazon. There is just basically the 3 CDs no unreleased tracks and no booklet. If a band is goimg to release a compilation with no unreleased tracks at least include a nice boolket with pics with the band's history.
