Review

This Chronicles box set brings together three records by Bryan Adams - You Want It You Got It, Cuts Like a Knife, and his breakthrough album, Reckless -- 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. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
