Digitally remastered two-fer from the AOR rockers featuring their first two albums for Epic Records on one CD. These albums date from 1971 and 1972 respectively and show the band at their hard rockin' best just a few years before they became staples on FM radio. BGO. Album Description

time machine

Man, does this take me back to circa 1970. We would go to Mt. Pulaski IL to a combo swimming pool-skating rink to hear live bands. Guess who we saw on more than one occasion. REO with Mr. Luttrell, on vocals, what a good rock and roll band, no mushy ballads and would even close with Sympathy for the Devil. This cd is a link to my midwestern music heritage and therefor a must have. August 1, 2008

Great roadhouse rock from before they were "Pop Stars"

Not that there is anything wrong with the REO SPeedwagon music from the 80's,it is good pop, it is just not my big cup of tea as it were.

Here in REO's first two LP's(now CD"s), is a much more rock and roll REO, similar to Early E Street Band and Early J. Guiles Band. Sophisticated Lady was my big favorite, but there are many other songs just as good. This is more good memories for me from my High School days, yes I was too young to go clubbing in High School but this education came from my older brother, and I took to it.

So here's the deal, if you like the old roadhouse rock from the early 70's you might really like this set. However, if you are from the MTV generation, you may just hate it. July 10, 2008

Great to have the first album again on cd

Too bad I had to purchase REOTWO all over again to get this cd, because it is widley available where I live, not mention I already own it. I don't hear the sound quality improvement on these cd's either. Nonetheless it is GREAT to have REO-1 again. This cd represents REO at their rockin best with everything that came after just so-so. I would imagine a vast majority of REO fans have never even heard REO-1. Well this is their chance. April 19, 2008

Great deal for the price!!

REO TWO is my favorite REO album and I haven't been able to find the first album on CD until now! These are pretty much the original recordings without much doctoring up, but I am glad I bought it! It is GREAT to hear good ol' Rock 'n' Roll!! If you like older REO recordings this is an AWESOME package!! I would also highly recomend REO REO (the brown and white cow hide looking cover) as another FANTASTIC release. March 26, 2008

a piece of art!!

When I ordered it I thought it would be a cheap 2 for 1 deal. I mainly ordered it to listen to the first album. When I got it I was very impressed with the quality of the package and the liner notes.

Your REO CD collection is not complete without this one. February 19, 2008
