Y&T – Earthquake The A&M Years 81-85; Live On The Friday Rock Show [prev. unreleased] (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 exeptional 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.

The last official studio album for A&M, the excellent ‘Down For The Count’ was already presented on this blog last week, posted HERE.

Let’s go then with the entitled “Live On The Friday Rock Show”, this is the ‘bonus album’ from this Y&T box-set, offering recordings from the band’s shows at the now legendary English festivals ‘Reading’ and ‘Donington Park ; Monsters Of Rock’.
While the Reading Festival performace was released on CD by a small label in limited quantities some time ago (but now out of print), the Donington Monsters Of Rock show was previously unreleased and it’s exclusive to this Box.

Both shows are well worth to listen, not only for fans of the band, but also by any hard rock aficionado out there.
The passion, the musicality, the energy of Y&T on these shows were second to none, and are wonderfully immortalized on tape. The sound quality is truly good, perfectly mastered to maintain the stage rawness.
We Highly Recommend this awesome box “Earthquake: The A&M Years 1981-1985”, including 7 albums for the price of two, with a terrific remastering work and fantastic packaging.
