- The Best of Boston

The history of Boston rock goes nowhere without Burma. Though their original lifespan was only five years tops, their influence and reverence among music lovers is widespread. Only saw them once in Boston and they cut such a powerful presence onstage. You can hear it on this disc and see it on the DVD. And the legend continues as MOB has begun touring and recording again in the past five years.

This is a excellent document of what makes rock meaningful. Check out the other re-mastered releases, too!

- Burma live!

Hard to forget.

They were a great band, and the "horrible truth" is...they always played to half empty halls and poor audience.

Anyway, here you have a way to understand their real value and sonic power, well experienced by the fortunate sons who attended their show.

Experimental songs like "Tremolo" make perfect pairs with the occasional pop hooks of "That's When I Reach For My Revolver"...

Listen without prejudice (for real!).
