        A lot of BoxSet for the price. 5 classic albums, excellent mastering, well pressed. All should be played in their entirety.

                  Great boxset! But, should have included 'Galaxy' also. It is part of the 'classic' War era.

                    demondes
                    Excellent Boxset of the best WAR albums. The percussion driven sound of the band is clear and sounds fantastic. Vinyl is flat and the coloured vinyl looks cool and thankfully doesn’t seem to take away anything away from the recordings
                    • Stink-Foot's avatar
                      Stink-Foot
                      Great sounding box set with no pressing issues.
                      Vinyl is flat and quiet. Coloured discs look nice whilst spinning on my deck.
                      Well worth the money if you like War.
