<p>My second entry would be The Life & Crimes of Alice Cooper. This is a 4 CD box that contains studio tracks, rare early tracks, demos, sountrack cuts and various edits. It featured songs from every studio album released to that point, as well as three tracks from The Spiders and one track from The Nazz. The set was released on April 20, 1999 by Rhino. For those…</p>

<p>My second entry would be The Life & Crimes of Alice Cooper. This is a 4 CD box that contains studio tracks, rare early tracks, demos, sountrack cuts and various edits. It featured songs from every studio album released to that point, as well as three tracks from The Spiders and one track from The Nazz. The set was released on April 20, 1999 by Rhino. For those who don't remember, it has the distinction of being released on the same day as the Columbine High School massacre. </p>
<p>The four discs are housed in a long box. They each come in there own jewel case. Also included in the set is a very cool 80 page book that contains a nice biography, a tracklisting and a discography. It also contains a very neat little section with tidbits about each song included in the set. The quotes about the songs are taken from various band members and from Bob Ezrin as well. A good example is Ezrin's story about hearing the band in their early days for the first time at Max's Kansas City in New York. He tells of how he met the band and told them of how overwhelmed he was with the show and how much he enjoyed the song I'm Edgy. After blank stares from the band members, they figured out he was referring to I'm Eighteen. </p>
<p>I really, really enjoyed the three tracks included that originally appeared on From The Inside. I do not own that album, so two of the three, the title track and Serious really stood out to me. I have heard How You Gonna See Me Now, so I knew that one, but it was just three standout tracks as far as I'm concerned. Others included Nobody Likes Me, Ballad of Dwight Fry, Under My Wheels, Billion Dollar Babies, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Man With The Golden Gun (this one also has a good story attached to it), Only Women Bleed, Cold Ethel, I Never Cry, No Tricks (another one I'd never heard but really like), Pain, He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask), Poison and Lost In America. Many of them I've heard, but they are just excellent songs.</p>
<p>I give this one a thumbs up for sure. You can pick up a used copy on Amazon for just under 40 dollars. Also, if you'd like a complete track listing, you can click <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_and_Crimes_of_Alice_Cooper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HERE</a>.</p>

I bought a few box-sets 10-15 years or so ago, (The faces, 10Cc, The Doors, Genesis, KISS, Kinks, Nirvana, Yes, Cheap Trick, Neal Young), but the one I keep coming back to, is my Burt Bacharach-boxset. It contains all the best songs he wrote, with the original artists, 4 discs of each 70 min. of music. The boxsets I buy these days, are deluxe versions of actual albums. Within the last year, I bought deluxe-versions of Jethro Tull’s albums from the 60’ and 70’s. Those are awesome!!

<p>Though there are no bonus tracks, the Warren Zevon set "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" is a two disc set that charts a good portion of his career from the start.</p>
