With this Deluxe Edition, Ripple Music brings us a rerelease of Stone Axe’s second album. As a matter of fact it’s the complete original album, expanded by a second CD, with tracks that were previously only available on vinyl, or were part of a compilation, and some tracks that were never before released. Is this alone worth buying this album? I’m not sure. After all it’s more of the same stuff, being seventies inspired rock, reminiscing to many of the great bands that existed or sprouted in that period of time.
Conclusion: if you’re a fan of classic seventies rock, and want to have the full Stone Axe catalogue, you might buy this album. But if you already own their second album, it’s a bit of a waste of money. Couldn’t they just have released it as one album containing only the as not yet available on CD tracks?
