Classic Rock Legends, Nazareth, are dropping a 5 CD box set called Born Under the Wrong Sign, covering their work from 1976 to 1979. It hits shelves on June 26th and packs in their 4 key albums from that era, plus 27 bonus tracks like single edits and outtakes. This is prime stuff for fans wanting the full deep dive into their mid-70s evolution. These albums mark a shift for the Scottish Hard Rockers, who formed and done Firmland back in the late 1960s and dropped their debut in 1971. Led by Dan McCafferty's gravely vocals, Mani Charlton's guitar, Pete Agnew on bass, and Daryl Sweet on drums, they move from raw grit toward polished arena rock, mixing in psychedelia and southern vibes. Earlier this week, the announcement highlighted how the first disc revisits their seventh album from March 1976, recorded in Montreal, with a rock-opper opener about tour life.

Meanwhile, the set includes an alternate take on that 1977 album, plus their 10th record from January 1979, Beefed, up with the second guitars for twin-riff heaviness and another iconic Rodney Matthews artwork. Bonus cuts like live versions and instrumentals rounded out nicely. Fans have been buzzing online about finally getting these rarities in one spot, celebrating Nazareth's underrated run that bridged their breakout hits to heavier territory. If you're spinning vinyl or streaming classics, this box set keeps their fire alive for a new generation.
