Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force

Great 4cd set.

Great album boxset

I love this guys playing, the problem is that I sent this back twice do to the CD jumping in my player.

Music is 5 stars!! great! I gave it 2 stars because of quality problems with this compilation. 6 Albums jammed in 4 discs is ridiculous and CD #3 repeatedly skips after song # 3.

so so

Yngiwe Who? Yngwie Malmsteen!Yes Yngwie Malmsteen, one of my guitar heroes.Polydor Years 1984-1990 means the heydays of Mr. Malmsteen and his first great 6 albums.In my opinion, the bests.Rising Force (1984)Marching Out (1985)Trilogy (1986)Odyssey (1988)Trial By Fire (1989)Eclipse (1990)Most of which I already own individually. Again I was happy to have all this in one box set.4 discs are nicely packed in a normal double disc jewel case.The booklet has Malmsteen's story in brief, album covers pictures and info in 8 pages.But there is something unusual and funny about this boxset that I feel ambivalent towards.6 albums are squeezed in 4 discs as if chopped off and separated.Disc 1 contains all 8 tracks from Rising Force and first 9 from Marching Out.Disc 2 contains last 2 tracks from Marching Out, 2 bonus live tracks, full 9 from Trilogy and first 3 from Odyssey.Disc 3 contains rest of Odyssey and first 7 from Trial by Fire.Disc 4 contains last 4 from Tral By Fire and all of Eclipse.Oh my! Why not 6 individual discs? For this reason it's 3.5 stars rating I gave.Malmsteen's music is always beyond 5 stars. That's all that matters.Rock 'N' Roll \m/,

Excellent compilation of albums for any fan. Highly recommended.

Amazing set for a great guitarist. Many thanks.
