AXE – The Albums 1979-1983 [4xCD Box Set + bonus tracks] (2022)

They toured with the best – from Iron Maiden to Scorpions to KISS to Mötley Crüe – at the height of those bands’ popularity, electrifying stadium-sized audiences with the fierce determination and fiery spirit of a rock & roll underdog. Signed to MCA Records, they built a cult following on the strength of their superb studio albums, beginning with the classic 1979 self-titled album.
They are AXE and although they seem to fly under the radar of mainstream audiences, the band continues to be rediscovered by new generations of classic rock fans.
Now 2022, this deluxe 4CD box set “The Albums 1979-1983” seeks to re-introduce the band to young music fans, collecting the ‘79 debut ‘Axe’ and the subsequent albums they released before a long 13-year hiatus. Those LP’s include the slickly produced ‘Living On The Edge’ (1980), the 1982 album ‘Offering’ (including a bonus live recording from its tour) that spawned the band’s best-known song “Rock ‘N’ Roll Party In The Streets” , and 1983’s ‘Nemesis’, which was the last to be released with founding guitarist Michael Osborne who was tragically killed in a car accident shortly following the album’s release.
A Limited Edition Box Set only available on physical format…
