Original Album Series

Description

2013 five CD box set containing a quintet of albums packaged in cardboard mini LP sleeves and housed in a slipcase. Opened by the US Platinum certified album Strikes, this collection contains the five best-selling albums by the Florida rockers, Blackfoot. The original albums in this collection were all released between 1979 and 1984, at a time when the band was fronted by Rickey Medlock, the man now known as lead guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd. US Top 40 hits ‘Highway Song,’ and ‘Train, Train,’ are both featured on Strikes: The first of a three-album streak of classic gems, including the stand-out single ‘Fly Away’ on Marauder. Each album has something unique to offer with the hard rock anthem ‘Send Me An Angel,’ on Siogo, showcasing the band’s successful experimentations with synthesizers, and the opening number of Vertical Smiles: A fantastic cover of ‘Morning Dew,’ made famous by Grateful Dead.
