Nothin' but a Good Time: The Poison Collection
Following the release of Poison - Box Set (Collector's Edition), Capitol Records released a box set titled Nothin' But A Good Time: The Poison Collection. It was originally intended to be an extra bonus package for the Collector's Edition, but then released separately in the following year. The Poison Collection is a double CD package, which consists of two previously released albums, one compilation album The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock and the remastered 2004 release of the live album Swallow This Live, which does not include the two solos and the studio recordings associated with this album. In addition, much of the profanity from the original release has been edited out. The box set includes a bandana as a special gimmick. [3][4]
