HAREM SCAREM – The Ultimate Collection [digital version 8-albums] (2019)

On March 22nd, HAREM SCAREM will release ‘The Ultimate Collection Box Set’, a 14-CD limited edition deluxe box set, and four titles (Weight Of The World, Higher, Thirteen, United) on limited edition color vinyl via Frontiers Music.
This is a very Limited Edition Box Set including all 13 Harem Scarem albums plus a disc of rarities. This digital version only includes 8 albums.

One of Canada’s finest melodic hard rock bands, Harem Scarem were formed in 1987 by guitarist Pete Lesperance and singer Harry Hess, formerly of the metal band Blind Vengeance. The lineup was rounded out by Darren Smith (drums) and Mike Gionet (bass).
They recorded a demo in 1989 and on the strength of it, they were signed to Warner Music. Their self-titled album was a significant success in Canada and paved the way to the release of the heavier “Mood Swings” album in 1993, often considered the crown jewel of their early releases.
Harem Scarem kept on releasing albums regularly during the 90s, until they decided to ultimately change their name and music style to Rubber between 1999 and 2001.

In 2002, the band came back to melodic hard rock scene with the milestone album “Weight of the World,” which was their first proper release in the European marketplace thanks to their newly signed deal with Frontiers.
With the Italian label, Harem Scarem released another five original albums (not counting 2006’s “Human Nature” and the remake of “Mood Swings” in 2013, which marked the band’s return after a 5 years hiatus after the release of 2008’s “Overload”).

Given the particularly prolific nature of relationship between Frontiers and the band, it was decided to make the band’s catalog (some albums out of print) available in an exclusive and limited edition box set, in cooperation with Warner Music who kindly agreed to license the band’s first five studio albums.
That’s why these are not available digitally, only on physical CD into the box.

The result is a mammoth box set inclusive of 13 studio records encompassing the whole discography of Harem Scarem with a gargantuan amount of rare, unreleased, and bonus tracks which make up a full bonus disc (in addition to original bonus tracks added to the individual albums).

And on top of this, Frontiers and the band decided to add a special one time limited run of colored vinyls for the signature catalogue releases: “Weight of the World,” “Higher”, “Thirteen”, and the band’s last studio album, “United”.
