Lynyrd Skynyrd was a pioneer in Country Rock n Roll, not just Southern Rock. This box set is a true must for die hard Skynyrd fans, as it contains some very fine demos, unreleased songs and some old favorites. The demo version of "Free Bird" and "Gimme Three Steps" should have been the released versions, as they are free of clutter, and as pure as music can get. They, along with "He's Alive" demonstrate the power of Van Zandt's vocals, and the harmonious blend of instruments the band was known for, until that fateful day in 1977. "Junkie" is reminiscent of Hendrix, and "Mr. Banker" is a great folksy blues song that would please even Les Paul. My personal favorite song for any Pig Pickin' is on this set, called "Down South Jukin." Truly, an excellent arrangement and selection of songs, even from the last and final album called Street Survivors, a song called "That Smell." From the first to last albums, Skynyrd was excellent, and as Ol' Charlie Daniels wrote to Ronnie Van Zandt "Fly high, Proud Bird..." This CD set certainly flies high.Read full review
Rarities,outtakes,live versions & A great full color booklet make this boxed set a gold mine for hardcore Skynyrd fans....I love the old material off the 1st & 2nd albums.

Skynyrd is one of my all-time favorite Southern Rock bands and this boxed set really gives you a lot for your money. It represents each of the original studio releases from "Pronounced" to "Street Survivors" and everything good in between. It goes even farther than most cool sets and includes over a dozen studio outtakes and alternate (lyrics and musically) tracks of some of the bands most popular and best songs. If you like the band and want something cool to add to your collection this would be a great set to get.
Best packaging job I have seen YET! Wow. Yes, it was that good, and still sealed in great shape. Plays well too, but expected that when I saw how it arrived. Nice job, everyone.
