5 out of 5 stars 70s guitar giant.......2004-02-12

frank marino picked up where jimi hendrix left off, i say this very losely. there has been alot of comparison to hendrix but frank does have his own style and should not be labled a hendrix clone. this album if you want to buy one frank marino and mahogany rush album this is it. you get 3 lps 2 cds.from start to finish classic rock at its best. these came out in the early 70s and frank was only 16 or 17 on maxoom his first album. you listen to these cds and the sound is amazing, today much music is polished up and over produced. this is over 30 years old and it sounds so raw but yet so good. what all great music should sound like. after hearing these albums im sure you will be like me and by all the rest. frank marino is a musicains musician and he plays for the people. he is an overlooked and forgoten guitar legend. hear the music feel the music and judge for yourself. frank marino is a true living legend.

5 out of 5 stars Another Gem from Canada........2004-01-11

A compilation of the first 3 albums. Frank Marino is a superb guitar player and the music is good. This is what its all about.

5 out of 5 stars a fan since the mid-1970s.......2003-08-01

Maxoom never impressed me BUT "Child of the Novelty" and "Strange Universe" impress me (and still do). Frank is a phenominal guitar player. I have also seen him in person in concert on only three occasions (drat!). If you love an absolutely searing screaming rock-and-roll, Jimi Hendrix-type, lead guitar then buy this now. However, Frank plays Jimi better than Jimi played Jimi. Purists will hate me for saying that. Of course, all of the tunes on these recordings are Frank's compositions. IMHO, his best albums are:
- "Child of the Novelty",
- "Strange Universe",
- "Mahogany Rush IV",
- "Mahogany Rush Live".
I have them all on vinyl and finding them on CD has been difficult.

4 out of 5 stars ...and the guitar gods made love..........2001-07-14

Just noticed the availability of this 3-album 2-CD set and, having been a fan of Mahogany Rush from their humble beginnings, I would first and foremost recommend this mainly for the acquisition of CHILD OF THE NOVELTY. This was the first MH album I ever heard and, along with MH IV ( <--their masterpiece), knocked me out with Frank's unbelievable guitar-playing and unabashed cloning of Hendrix's style of singing and playing. It would have been cool, if Jimi would have lived, to know what he thought of this great, underrated band. Tracks like "Look Outside" and "Changing" sound like they could have come right off the ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? album. I kept hoping for a chance to see this band perform live in concert, but never got that chance. Hopefully, the boys remain together today, in some incarnation, and will tour the clubs or casinos as other 70's bands have done. I agree with the assessments of other reviewers: if you have heard great things about MH, this would be the good primer for you. I was not overly impressed with MAXOOM...but then, it was their first album and the guys were just getting their chops down. CHILD, on the other hand, kicks booty from start to finish. Not a bad song on the whole album. STRANGE UNIVERSE showed their inevitable growth, but overall didn't turn my crank as strongly as CHILD (with the exception of the sheer majesty of its title track).

If this 2-CD collection impresses you, then fasten your seat belt and latch on to a copy of MH IV, their 4th album and, IMO, their equivalent of a Sgt. Pepper album.

            Wow!!!
            Aloisio is a Fantastic pianist, and his trio is up there with him for this recording. I consider Aloisio at the same level as other great Brazilian Jazz pianists like Luiz Eca, Manfredo Fest, Tania Maria, Marcos Ariel, Helio Alves, Guilherme Vergueiro, Jovino Santos Neto etc. and you can tell it immediately with first track Lobo Bobo.
            Aloisio and Claudio Roditi (as they appear in the front cover), had been playing Bossa Nova/Brazilian Jazz since the early 1960's, and you can perceive that perfect connection they have with each other in this amazing CD. The compositions and arrangements are just perfect for this group, the performance is tight and perfect; do not miss it; especially at this affordable price. You'll love it too.
