AMG Review of Chronicles

Rob Theakston
All Music Guide

This Chronicles box set brings together three records by Aerosmith -- the comeback album Permanent Vacation, Pump, and Get a Grip -- in a single box set. Unfortunately, other than the albums themselves being classics, there are no bonus tracks, no remastering, nor any additional material to speak of. So unless you don't already own these, or prefer to have them stored in a different format than jewel casing, the original single discs might just be the way to go -- if anything for the ease of storage.
