UK four CD set by the Southern rockers. Formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1971, Molly Hatchet were easily able to fill arenas across the States by the time their second LP Flirtin' With Disaster was released in 1979. By 1980, Danny Joe Brown had been replaced with Jimmy Farrar on vocals, and it was this line-up that appears on the first CD of this set, Take No Prisoners.

By the time that 1983's No Guts. No Glory was released, Danny Joe Brown had returned to the mic stand, and again the band were joined by famed producer Tom Werman twiddling the studio knobs. Disc Two of this set is now expanded to feature 'Kinda Like Love' (Radio Edit) and 'Fall Of The Peacemakers' (Short Version) as bonus cuts.
