Fans can grab the release in several formats, including 2-CD packages, vinyl, or digital downloads. The first disc features 11 remastered studio recordings, while the second captures the energy of a previously unreleased 1993 concert.
This collection covers the period when the band broke through in America. Between '77 and '79, they moved toward arena-ready rock with key albums "Sleepwalker," "Misfits," and "Low Budget."
The first disc includes hits like "Catch Me Now I'm Falling" and "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman." Their song "A Rock'n'Roll Fantasy" reached the U.S. Top 40. Music writer Phil Alexander provides new notes on each track.
The second disc brings Albert Hall to life. Listeners will hear powerful versions of "One of Our DJs Is Missing" and "Till The End of The Day." A high-energy take on "You Really Got Me" proves the original band hadn't lost their edge in the early nineties.
This final release completes the band's anthology as they celebrate sixty years of making music. Earlier releases documented their journey through other musical eras.
