Review

Talking elephant did a remarkable job remastering this compilation from 1977. never have atomic roosters music from their first three releases sounded so good. i'm not an audiophile by any means, but i've listened to rooster's music enough over the decades to be quite impressed at what is offered here. Home to Roost has great artwork, and talking elephant has updated the liner notes in it. i guess my only real complaint is, was it necessary to make a 2 disc compilation from the first three cds? atomic rooster does have a variety of best of's out in the market of varying quality. if you're not familiar with atomic rooster and want a place to start, i'd highly recommend this release or for those that don't want to own the first three cds, this remastered version is quite good. --Joseph L.
