This is the definative Rough Cutt CD with all their great material included on one disc. Rough Cutt is clearly one of the heaviest, bluesiest bands to ever come out of the LA scene, originally creating such famous players as Jake Williams (aka Jake E. Lee of Ozzy fame), Claude Schnell (Dio), and Craig Goldie (Guiffria, Dio). Vocalist Paul Shortino is clearly one of the great rock vocalists of all time along with the likes of Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriot, Ian Gillan, and of course the great Ronnie James Dio. These songs are all great, produced by two of the industries most famous producers (including Jack Douglas). They never sold as many records as some of the cute poodle boy-toy bands of the period, even though they had a good lable (Warners). This was largely due to their high standards and their dedication to the blues vibe rather than to bubble gum trends. This may well be the best and most meaningful rock band to come out of LA since the Doors. Sure, there was the Eagles, but nobody as heavy as Rough Cutt.Read full review

Two great CD's on one CD! These two cd's are excellent representations of the 80's metal scene! Paul Shortino's voice is impeccable! Of course I like Rough Cutt - Rough Cutt better than "Wants You" - but we all have to have favorites! My wife loves it!!!
Two great albums, one package.
