5.0 out of 5 stars Climbing, Nantucket Sleighride & Twin Peaks Remastered with 2 CDs of Bonus Material at a Reasonable Price
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
Mountain burned brightly in their short career, and they burned brightest on their first 2 albums. This box has 3 studio albums: 1) Climbing (1970); 2) Nantucket Sleighride (1971); and 3) Avalanche (1974). The first two are classic albums - essential for fans interested in the history of heavy metal/hard rock genre. The good news here is that they are definitely remastered (these boxed sets are hit or miss on remaster editions - if it was remastered before the set issued then it is usually included - they have not specially remastered any of these discs for this box set release). Avalanche is not remastered, but to tell you the truth, I couldn't tell the difference, and there's probably not much on it that you would care about unless you're an odd duck like me that likes one particular song off the album that nobody else likes.

The other two albums are live or half studio/half live: 1) Twin Peaks (1974 - Double Live Album); 2) Flowers of Evil (1971 - Side 1 Studio & Side 2 Live). Twin Peaks may be remastered because a remastered version was issued in 2006 and this box set was issued in 2010, it sounds good, but like I said I couldn't tell much difference. Flowers of Evil is not remastered but the sound is still good for what it is. Twin Peaks was considered by All Music Guide to be a good document of their live show, back then they used to drag songs out forever live and Nantucket Sleighride runs over 31 minutes. Most people would be happy with the Best of Mountain, which has been remastered by the way. But with this Box set you get everything that's on the Best of Mountain and a lot more for not a lot more money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bang For The Buck

I love this series of cd’s where you can get the first few albums for a good price. If you buy them individually you will pay way more. The sleeves have small print, but if you need more information, you can find it on line. The sound is fine. If you’re curious about the group Mountain, this is the place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Selection of Mountain Songs

Great Selection Of Songs as 5 CD albums from their extensive catalog. I do wish the Box set had a full Booklet. It just has sparse songs credits. For a history of the band and other releases you must look elsewhere.

if you like the band cream then you will like Mountain. Great band fron the seventies. Most of these cd can be found used or new . But this collection is all the first five. great price and all five are here. the older collection is not remastered so you can turn it up loud and hear Leslie West at his best. they do not make music like this anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars A visit to the past

There's nothing like taking a step backwards, to a piece of life that was innocent, not only in lifestyles, but also in the arts as well- Listening to these five albums from 'Mountain' placed a smile on my face that I could not erase- Listening to selections such as: Mississippi Queen, Nantucket Sleighride, Theme for an Imaginary Western, and Roll Over Beethovan, not to mention the excellent guitar solos offered by Felix West, places me back to a part of my youth only attainable by the realm of music- I can actually remember where I was as I heard these cuts 30 to 40 years ago- Thanks to the boys in the band for allowing this collector's item to reenter the music market- If you are not familiar with Felix West or the delights of Mountain, this is a great place to begin, at a ridiculously low price- Get it while these Golden Oldies are still available, as they will not always be so!

Not every track is awesome. But there's always 2 or 3 tracks on each album, that really speak to you, whatever your taste. A bundle deal like this.. let's you explore the unknown for a reasonable price. I knew they had more than just "Mississippi Queen" that needs to be heard. RIP Felix & more Recently Leslie West.

Good old Mountain. What a unique sound these guys had. Full throttle vocals and muffled overdriven guitar sound from Leslie was enough to convert me. Great quality and value for your money.

Altra perla della collana Original Album Classics. Decisamente il meglio (se non il tutto) dei Mountain. Io adoro questa collana per lo stupefacente rapporto qualità/prezzo e anche in questo caso non mi ha deluso.

Reviewed in Spain on December 30, 2021

Los 4 primeros discos de estudio y un directo del 73. Son una banda clásica de Hard rock americano aunque para mí gusto no de las más destacables de los 70, pero está bien. La caja como todas las de esta serie contiene cada cd en un cartón individual, con su portada y contraportada pero sin libreto de letras

Ah Mountain, un des mes groupes fétiches . Là, cinq albums à un prix défiant toute concurrence. Certes dans un emballage carton mais c'est la musique qui m'intéresse. Et on est servi.....
Comme je viens de le dire, emballage cartonné à la place du plastique habituel.
Délais tenus.
Les amateurs de hard seront aux anges.....
