    As cool as this set is and is one of my favorite pieces in my Melvins collection, its also got a few problems. Taking out the obvious having to switch records/sides each song, you also have to switch between RPMs depending on the record. Some records end on a locked groove and some do not. The drum into to "Black Stooges" and its later reprise heard on "Fool" is also missing. The real nail in the coffin is now all the b-sides (the reason to buy this set the most) is now available on its own as "Hostile Ambient Besides". I wouldn't say this is an avoid release but with other options available now its less enticing.
