It would be easy to expect each album to be expanded, and while it’s a shame there are no extras, it does a job and a very fine job it is too. Equally well packaged, there’s lots here to enjoy, and this period was the band’s heyday. The original lineup was vocalist Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars and drummer Tommy Lee.
