Hello – The Albums: Deluxe 4 CD Set

Hello were one of the best glam rock bands of the 70’s. Releasing such hits as New York Groove &  Tell Him, this 4 disc box set not only features the hit singles but pretty much everything they ever recorded & completely remastered.

Their debut album Keep Us Off The Streets has been expanded with 12 bonus tracks of their early singles (which were swept under the carpet due to their non success) & b-sides.

Shine On Silver Light was a rare Japan only release, up until now & is the first time this has ever been released on CD. Also expanded with 7 non album tracks, featuring the single Love Stealer. 

The 3rd disc of this gorgeous box is Hellos 3rd album Hello Again. Once again expanded, this time with just 3 non album tracks.

Disc 4 is an absolute gem. Containing completely unreleased material, including their version of Dynamite. The track was originally considered to be a single but was shelved. It later became a huge hit for the band Mud. Who knows what would’ve happened to Hello had they been allowed to release it as a single instead of Mud.

The packaging for this set is tremendous. All 4 discs have their own replica cardboard album sleeve & housed in a clamshell box. The accompanying booklet has an amazingly detailed essay by Phil Hendricks along with full color photos of  the single covers & promo shots.

The music is amazing & sounding better than ever. Thanks to James Bragg for doing such a good job on the re-masters.

An essential addition to any record collection. Glam rock doesn’t get much better than this.

Score 8.5/10
