Y&T – Earthquake The A&M Years 81-85; Black Tiger [remastered] (2013)

As requested by many, here it it the complete box-set “Y&T – Earthquake The A&M Years 81-85”, a must have remastered pack from the most brilliant era of Dave Meniketti’s band.

At the very end of 2013 and almost unnoticed, there was a box-set release from one of the essential bands from the first half of the ’80s: Y&T, entitled “Earthquake: The A&M Years 1981-1985”.
You get 7 albums spread over 4 discs, a terrific collection with all the material Remastered for an exceptional value for money.

Yes, many would prefer every album in one single disc, but this way you have a glossy edition packaged in the old style ‘fat’ box, an extensive booklet in exceptional print quality with detailed info, and the most important; a superb sound remastered by Andy Pearce, all for less than 25 U$D it’s a steal.

“Black Tiger”, the second Y&T record for A&M Records, was recorded at Ridge Farm, in Dorking, County of Surrey, England and produced by wizard Max Norman (Ozzy, Lynch Mob).
The classic Y&T logo makes its first appearance on the cover on a record with rather diverse material including the typical uptempo Y&T hard rockers like “Open Fire” together with melodic rock gems such as “Don’t Wanna Lose”, a real gem of a tune.

Title track is fast and furious, while the bass driven “Barroom Boogie” gives the album character and the captivating fan favourite “Forever” gives an example of a classic Y&T trademark rock.
“Hell or High Water” shows Y&T’s ability to be slow & melodic but still groovy and heavy, and the closing “Winds of Change” is one of the band’s best ballads.

We Highly Recommend this awesome box “Earthquake: The A&M Years 1981-1985”, including 7 albums for the price of two, with a monster remastering work and a fantastic packaging.
