I'm no sound expert - but sounds better, more clear for sure - I've been waiting to read reviews on what others think. I just received mine.Haven't listened with headphones/amp yet. Package is nice, clean - nothing fancy. No detail about remastering process - not sure if that's something usually included with remastered releases - but they do mention 2 tracks that didn't have good original source material, so they used best material possible (Elimination Dancing, King Kong). I can for sure now hear how "muddy" the other releases are compared to this.

One of the most underrated 80s bands. I've always been a fan of Bow Wow and the Burundi beat that they used just like Adam and the Ants. This is a great collection with the remastering done very well. One question ,but not a complaint, is where is the track Cast Iron Arm? Can't call it a complete collection if you don't have that one

This pulls together the official recordings that were officially released when the band was together in the 80's. Missing are the four tracks from their unreleased 1980 Peel Sessions, as well as demos such as Cast Iron Arm, Theme A, Bow Wow Wow, Biological Phenomena, Cash / Money In the Bank, etc. Some of these are available on the "Girl Bites Dog" CD, which I highly recommend.Mastering is dynamic and not brick-walled. It doesn't feel like anything was done to ease the fact that the vocals were too high in the mix on "Your Cassette Pet", which still sounds a bit anemic (as did the original cassette anyway). I still have to crank it loud to feel the kick and bass, and then the vocals jab me in the ear a bit much...Packaging and the booklet are nice. Nothing extravagant, but it doesn't feel like a budget release either.Oops: When the narrative in the booklet mentions how the guys came over from Adam & the Ants, there was an accompanying photo of the Ants... but it was from 1977, when Mark Ryan was the guitarist and Andy Warren was bassist! At least Dave was in the photo...

Almost the complete recordings (minus a few songs). Each disc is in a replica sleeve of an album. The box is not the standard CD size for some reason. It is square shaped, taller and narrower than a CD.

some of Bow wow wow albums are out of print but thanks to Amazon Prime need to buy it?

Great set has a lot of the artists music in one place, plus the package is great...

Love this band. The 12" versions are so worth this box set. Wanted Annabelle Lwin's solo album and tracks included but that's another time.

Cofanetto davvero piacevole e divertente. Percussioni molto afrikaans,un basso fantastico e la voce piena di piglio e verve della Miss. Lo consiglio.Spedizione Amazon senza rivali come sempre.

Fans of Bow Wow Wow, rejoice! All of the band's music is finally brought together in this gorgeous little box set. Your Box Set Pet: The Complete Recordings (1980-1984) includes all Bow Wow Wow songs on 3 compact discs and an illustrated booklet that tells the band's story. Discs 1 and 2 hold their two original albums along with 12 inch and remix bonus songs, while disc 3 collects all singles and the Your Cassette Pet EP.

Bow Wow Wow n'a peut être pas la notoriété d'autres groupes post punks des années 80, mais 40 ans après leur réputation est solide et intacte. Un son brut, fiévreux, immédiatement identifiable avec sa rythmique tribale et ses guitares affutées. Ca joue très vite et très bien. Enième compilation du groupe, ce coffret a le mérite de regrouper la quasi intégralité des morceaux plus nombre de versions maxis. On pourra toujours arguer qu'il manque les morceaux "Bow Wow Wow", "Cast Iron Arm" et "Theme A" (que l'on trouve sur la compilation "Girl Bites Dog - Your Compact Disc Pet") plus quelques versions 12" (qu'on trouve en bonus tracks sur d'autres albums). Mais l'essentiel est bien là. Certains critiquent la qualité du son du remastering opéré par Cherry Red Records pour ce coffret. Effectivement si l'on compare avec d'autres éditions, le son est un cran en dessous mais ne vous arrêtez pas à ça. Si vous ne connaissez pas encore le groupe, jetez-vous les yeux fermés. Et si vous êtes fans, allez-y aussi ne serait-ce que pour les bonus tracks qui valent vraiment le coup !

Die 3 CDs sind rand voll gepackt mit so ziemlich allem was das Bow Wow Wow-Herz begehrt. Dennoch war ich etwas enttäuscht. Ich hatte diese Box vorbestellt und damals waren noch keine Tracklisten bekannt. Leider ist nun nichts dabei was der Fan nicht schon in anderer Form hätte. Ich hatte auf mehr unveröffentlichtes gehofft, schade. Ansonsten ist dies aber eine gute Sammlung, sozusagen ein "Rundum-Sorglos-Paket", aber auch nichts besonderes, da nicht mal der Text im Booklet etwas neues verrät. Ich gebe dennoch 5 Punkte, da viel Musik für's Geld geboten wird und auch die Verpackung stimmt. Also Emfpehlung für alle die noch nicht viel von Bow Wow Wow haben.

This is a great collection....the compilers have done their homework on this one...well done cherry red!You get the RCAalbums in their entirety....fabulous stuff from the wowsers...what a fantastic bunch of musicians they were....Maffew, Leigh and Dave Barb...very under rated players in my book. Also the emi compilation (sort of) The Original Recordings...but this is mixed up on the last disc with some amazing versions and remixes.Even has the brilliant Baby Oh No 12" mix....and doesn't forget the Wheres My Snake track from Scandalous (terrible film I recall..but worth sitting through to see the band on stage.)Takes you in a musical journey from the blatant tribal and McLaren driven early stuff like c30 c60....to the amazing spaghetti western jazzy funk of Prince of Darkness....on to the more poppy second album....do you wanna hold me and the like.Love Love Love this.......I'm playing my Leroy Gorman Wal AIR BASS to this...through my air Trace Elliot Bass rig of course!Added some pictures for nostalgia sake.....be warned...Home Taping is Killing Music......
