With the new VANDENBERG album out, some of you requested this Cherry Red / Hear No Evil Records 4-CD clamshell box “The Complete ATCO Recordings 1982-2004“, covering the complete work of the Dutch guitarist own band with the ATCO label.
The Box Set includes the three ’80s VANDENBERG albums; the 1982’s self-titled debut, ‘Heading For A Storm’ (1983) and ‘Alibi’ (1985). These are not remastered versions. In our opinion you better stick with these album’s Rock Candy remastered versions – only get ‘The Complete ATCO Recordings’ if you prefer non-remastered original sound, or want to have all early VANDENBERG into one place.
However, there’s something that worth this box; Disc 4, including rare demos, and as far we know, many previously unreleased VANDENBERG live recordings. All collectible, and the sound quality is very good, showcasing how heavier they were on stage.
