Saxon In the beginning
If you started to discover Saxon during Crusader or even later with Forever Free and have nothing that predates either of these then you are missing out. This box set gives you everything from the first album with "Conan" on the front followed by Wheels of Steel which is still played to this day. Also included is Strong Arm of the Law and the classic Denium and Leather. These 4 studio albums were to set the tempo for the tours in the states. Also included is the first of The Eagle has landed Live albums. These 5 discs are extremely well written and the band is tight. If I had to pick the weakest link it would have to be their first album. But that album will grow on you and you will have to give it five stars as well. The downside to this box set is the packaging it doesn't have any extras and the albums were packed up as the were when they first came out. Other than that the music stands and is just as exciting as the first time I heard them back in 1983. Hope this helps someone to take a chance on some great music.
