How the fuckin el weren&#8217;t the Dogs D&#8217;Amour fuckin huge?! Listening back to this hefty box set reminded me why I fell in love with these piraty Rock n Rollers in the first place and the fact that they actually don&#8217;t have a single shite song. the songwriting is amazing and the four elements of what made the magic magic (ok so Mr Bath had a part as did a few others along the way) fundamentally this was a magic time for me and they were a magic band so it figures this box set is &#8211; straight off the bat a must-own tome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There got it out of my system.  If you never really dived into the band&#8217;s catalogue (apart from shame on you) you will have missed the real gems that&#8217;s not to say the singles weren&#8217;t gems because they were and this pulls the blooming lot together in one wonderful place. If I have a complaint (which I don&#8217;t) I&#8217;d have loved to see these released on vinyl (even though I have them all on vinyl some a little beat up, especially the singles) but hey this will do for starters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Dogs D&#039;amour - Satellite Kid [HQ Video]\" width=\"1140\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GWsZvQk_44Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What you have is the studio albums beginning with the (Un)Authorised&#8217;Bootleg&#8217; Album before &#8216;Dynamite Jet Saloon&#8217;, &#8216;Errol Flynn&#8217;, &#8216;Graveyard&#8217;, &#8216;Straight&#8217; and then &#8216;More Unchartered Heights&#8217; absolutely storming run of albums and anyone who saw them live can confirm they were every bit as exciting live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real gold here is the fact they&#8217;ve pulled in all the Golden Era albums and the two bonus discs of singles and live recordings. We did have the slipcase box set a few years ago but it didn&#8217;t have this plethora of bonus material. &#8216;King OF The Thieves&#8217;, &#8216;Ugly&#8217; take me back followed by no less than fourteen live recordings some of which took me back to sitting next to the radio with a tape recorder to hear the sessions on Tommy Vance and the live stuff from the Hunter Ronson support slot that was a great night Ah the memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disc eight is wrapped up with a few single edits and a bunch of acoustic recordings that go down very nicely. Like a fine wine, these records have aged considerably well and even if you haven&#8217;t played some of these in a while this set will remind you of what you had and always will. It&#8217;s a no-brainer purchase if you have any self-respect or can&#8217;t remember the late 80s due to too much Thunderbird wine this is a timely reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Kid from Kensington\" width=\"1140\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RqUEOMCsnB0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They were never a Glam band, nor a metal band they were a Rock n Roll band and time says they were a damn fine Rock n Roll band at that in fact they were the finest of their generation and that my friends is a fact, Cheers or should that be chin chin raise a glass or two for one of the finest.
