This two-fer combines two of trumpeter/flügelhornist Clark Terry's albums for the Impulse! label: 1964's The Happy Horns of Clark Terry and 1967's It's What's Happenin'. Generally considered one of Terry's best '60s outings, The Happy Horns of Clark Terry is a jaunty, swinging affair that finds Terry joined by such names as saxophonists Phil Woods and Ben Webster, bassist Milt Hinton, and others. Featuring a lively take on Duke Ellington's "Rockin' in Rhythm," Bix Beiderbecke's "In a Mist," and even an Ellington medley, the album is a must-hear for Terry fanatics.

Album performed by the orchestra of the composer and conductor James Last Germany (Bremen, 1922), published in Spain in 1971 by Polydor in the wake of the previous shot compilation Last made in 1970 of a triple LP with the title 'Around the world '. This work in analog format was divided in two parts, of which this –the second one- is dedicated to French and Italian music.

Released in February 1980, and hitting No. 5 in the UK charts, it features the m original line-up of Biff Byford on vocals, Graham Oliver and Paul Quinn on guitars, Steve Dawson on bass and Pete Gill on drums. Wheels Of Steel is crammed with classics, and now includes a rare b-s'tde as well as live tracks recorded in front of 35,000 metal maniacs at the very first Donington Monsters Of Rock festival, in addition to extremely rare, recently discovered demos recorded prior to entering the studio. It also includes rare and previously unseen photos courtesy of the band's personal archives, as well as extensive liner notes written in co-operation with lead singer Biff Byford.

Released in October 1980, Saxon's third album (and second LP of 1980!) was the second to be produced by the band in association with Pete Hinton at Ramport Studios. Opening with the self-explanatory 'Heavy Metal Thunder', like its predecessor Wheels Of Steel, Strong Arm Of The Law features many tracks that have remained staples of Saxon's live set to the present day, and now includes the complete 1982 Kid Jensen B15 session, recorded live in the studio for BBC Radio 1, new mixes taken from the original 24 track tapes of '20,000 Ft' and 'Heavy Metal Thunder', plus an alternate take of 'To Hell And Back Again', remixed at Abbey Road Studios by Pete Mew. It also features the previously unreleased 'Mandy', an early working version of 'Sixth Form Girls'. It also features rare memorabilia and extensive liner notes written in co-operation with lead singer Biff Byford.
