"...the set is given good liner notes for each album..."
--Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Aldo Nova: Aldo Nova (Sony Legacy)
“It is a great album and the new version sounds wonderful.
The liner notes are great as well.” – Classic Rock Revisited

vocals, and you get full lyrics and notes on the history of the album,
making this a worthwhile purchase.” – Sea of Tranquility

of black and white shots and a previously unreleased alternate version
of ‘Foolin' Yourself’.” – Horrorwoodbabbleon.com

batch of liner notes...” – Horrorwoodbabbleon.com
White Lion: Definitive Rock Collection (Rhino)
"The CD also includes very thorough liner notes chronicling White
Lion's entire career. This is a necessary addition to any rock or metal
collection." – Lawrence Svetlana, Amazon.com reviewer
"Respected American writer Bryan Reesman has put together a lengthy
essay on the band that highlights their craft and ingenuity, to complement
the 65 tracks of music." - Classic Rock
"The booklet is highly pro, with lots of rare shots, and a comprehensive,
well-researched band history from Reesman, one of the premier rock journos
in the biz." -- Martin Popoff, Hard Radio
"Metalogy also features a terrific book, stuffed with lots of
previously unseen photos, extensive and serviceable liner notes.and
a handy timeline." - Blabbermouth.com
"Priest were always more science fiction than hellbound, and
this remarkable retrospective does a lot to dispel the P.M.R.C. accusations
of 'deviltry' and suicide-enabling that they suffered in the '80s. The
accompanying booklet tells a different story, one that concerns five
young men from an industrial town in England, who, like Black Sabbath
before them, wrote and played in a style that reflected what they saw
when they looked out their windows: smoke, rain, and an endless sea
of metal." - All-Music Guide
"Also included is an extensive book featuring a sweeping biography
and comprehensive timeline written by Metal Edge contributor Bryan Reesman."
- Metal Edge
"I'm sure even the most diehard Priest fan will discover a fact
or two here that they never knew." - Metal Dreams
"...cool liner notes and photos." - Metal Forever.com
"...a killer booklet with a complete discography, notes, pictures,
and commentary." - Edge Magazine Online
"Bryan is one of the top-notch music journalists in the world,
a true metal fan, and a true Priest fan." - Judas-Priest.com (fan
site)
"Last but not least, the 64 page paperback (should have been
hardcover) book loaded with beautiful rare and never before seen photos
is included. The history is pretty much well known, and although naturally
a bit biased, is more objective than I would expect." - Encyclopaedia
Metallum
"Inside the box is a kick ass color booklet that chronicles in
both pictures and words the career of one of the greatest metal bands
ever." - Abrasive Rock.com
"The booklet has some very cool rare pics as well as familiar
photos, but it's put together in a very nice theme and look. The great
Bryan Reesman does the HELL BENT FOREVER liner notes." - Judas
Priest Info Pages
Customer reviews from Amazon.com:
"The booklet included is well thought out and really helps illustrate
why JP was as influential as it was." - Bardo Invictus
"The book that comes with the package is beautiful to look at
and informative, much better than that lame Behind The Music episode
that VH-1 slapped together." - Michael T. Bane
"A nice surprise is the lengthy color booklet with photographs
spanning the career of the band and a well-written history and recording
timeline of Priest. Most of the press releases and reviews I have read
don't mention the booklet." - Kyle Vraa
"I enjoyed reading the book along with the box set. It was very
informative and had more unreleased pictures in it than the remastered
CD's did." - Typeonegmarshalledu

as well and is a must have for Priest fans on it's own." - N. Durham,
Reading, PA
"There are many great photos and quotes in this book here."
