This set brings together the Polydor albums recorded by Yngwie J Malmsteen during the period 1984 – 1990. All the tracks have been digitally remastered and the set comes complete with new artwork and liner notes by respected rock journalist, Malcolm Dome. Lauded and acclaimed for over 30 years, Swedish guitarist Yngwie J Malmsteen is a true guitar hero. After recording an album with Steeler in 1983, he went on to join former Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet in Alcatrazz for their album No Parole From Rock ‘N’ Roll later the same year. In 1984 Malmsteen struck out on his own with Rising Force, a Grammy-nominated album which gave him the boost to really strike out on his own. In 1985 the next album with his band, now known as Yngwie J Malmsteen’s Rising Force, was called Marching Out and firmly established him as one of the bright lights of the era. Next came Trilogy, which reached even higher in the U.S. charts and this was followed by Odyssey, the album that became his biggest release internationally. The 1989 live album, Trial By Fire: Live In Leningrad was followed by the 1990 album, Eclipse. This period comprising five studio albums and one live recording was Malmsteen’s most productive period and established his reputation as one of the genre’s most inventive and appealing guitarists.

The first 6 great albums
Yngiwe Who? Yngwie Malmsteen! Yes Yngwie Malmsteen, one of my guitar heroes. Polydor Years 1984-1990 means the heydays of Mr. Malmsteen and his first great 6 albums. In my opinion, the bests. Rising Force (1984) Marching Out (1985) Trilogy (1986) Odyssey (1988) Trial By Fire (1989) Eclipse (1990) Most of which I already own individually. Again I was happy to have all this in one box set. 4 discs are nicely packed in a normal double disc jewel case. The booklet has Malmsteen's story in brief, album covers pictures and info in 8 pages. But there is something unusual and funny about this boxset that I feel ambivalent towards. 6 albums are squeezed in 4 discs as if chopped off and separated. Disc 1 contains all 8 tracks from Rising Force and first 9 from Marching Out. Disc 2 contains last 2 tracks from Marching Out, 2 bonus live tracks, full 9 from Trilogy and first 3 from Odyssey. Disc 3 contains rest of Odyssey and first 7 from Trial by Fire. Disc 4 contains last 4 from Tral By Fire and all of Eclipse. Oh my! Why not 6 individual discs? For this reason it's 3.5 stars rating I gave. Malmsteen's music is always beyond 5 stars. That's all that matters. Rock 'N' Roll \m/,

Music is 5 stars!!
Music is 5 stars!! great! I gave it 2 stars because of quality problems with this compilation. 6 Albums jammed in 4 discs is ridiculous and CD #3 repeatedly skips after song # 3.
