Yeah, but it would have been nice to have a couple of the tunes on
there, especially something like ". . . Frankenstein. . ." or "Blue
Oyster Cult". Maybe "In the Presence. . . "

For me, when I've got it all on studio albums already, there's not much reason
to buy a compilation other than the lure of having everything in one
compact collection -- easily transportable, no CD-changing, etc.

Unfortunately, it would probably take FOUR CDs just to capture what
I'd consider BOC's "bare essentials". But instead of one
all-encompassing set, we get 65 different single-CD compilations, all
with the same damn 15 songs! Go figure!

Off topic -- The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper is hands down the
best box set I've ever owned. Everything right down to the packaging
kicks all manner of ass! Lots of rarities, including the two songs he
did for his movie "Monster Dog"!!! If you're a Coop fan, do not
hesitate to buy this thing!
