Allmusic.com rating: 4.5 out 5 Stars

“The Stranger and 52nd Street were fine albums in their own right, but it's nice to hear Joel scale back his showman tendencies and deliver a solid pop/rock record. It may not be punk -- then again, it may be his concept of punk -- but Glass Houses is the closest Joel ever got to a pure rock album.
- Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Thanks to Kevin Gray. This reissue rocks!!

Great sounding record set... Some critics say that this recording sounded never that good!!!

“MAN, was I surprised! The vinyl was absolutely silent. No surface noise whatsoever. It was like the scuff marks were a figment of my imagination. This is more like it! To these ears, Takin’ Off was never one of Rudy Van Gelder’s better recordings, but Cisco did some real wonders with it on their 180g vinyl pressing. The soundstage is wider than ever before and the dynamics are noticeably improved. All the instruments are clear as a bell.
There was some brief, very minor, static in the right channel at the very end of “Empty Pockets,” but other than that, this was a perfect pressing. Warm, and full of life. Much better than the CD!

Allmusic.com rating 3.5 out of 3 Stars

“This collection of five 1994-1996 EPs, packaged as five separate LPs (each with their own sleeve) in one case, doesn't quite pick up all the stray ends that don't appear on his other full-length releases. But it does contain five EPs that use his Grace album as the nominal touchstone, all of which are now collectable and sought-after as listeners strive for every scrap of Buckley's legacy. Indeed two of these (Peyote Radio Theatre and So Real, aka Live at Nighttown) were promotional-only releases that weren't commercially available. The others were imports: Last Goodbye came out in Japan, Live From the Bataclan in France, and The Grace EP in Australia.”

A must have for the fan and a nice addition for all the rest....

Great "Music On Vinyl"- release. The sound is way better as on the cd.

“Although Free made excellent studio records, Free "Live" is perhaps the best way to experience the band in all its glory.... Superbly recorded by Andy Johns, this is one of the greatest live albums of the 1970s.

The sound is great and so is the pressing quality. Highly recommended!

“Recorded in less than a month, The Battle of Los Angeles is the most focused album of the band's career, exploding from the gate and rarely letting go the whole way through. Like a few other famous revolution-in-the-head bands, Rage Against the Machine has always been blessed by the fact that the band is spewing just as much vitriol as its frontman.

“Amos Lee is one of those special singer songwriters that comes along very infrequently. On this, his first release he sings songs from the heart that we can all relate to and does so with a voice that we all wish we had. Amos opened for Norah Jones on her 2004 European tour and this record is produce by Norah Jones band member Lee Alexander. Mastered and cut from the original 1/2" analog masters by Bernie Grundman on Classic's "all tube" stereo cutting system and pressed on the 200g Classic Super Vinyl Profile pressings. Amos is definitely in the house and in the room! ”

A wonderful sounding record!!!
