Notes

Release date: 10.8.2008

The first compilation/B Sides album released by the band. The album was intended to 'tie up' the Steve Clark era of the band before the first studio album with Vivian Campbell. Vivian contributed to some of the songs with guitar overdubs, vibraphone and background vocals. It featured finished off old songs and re-recorded/re-worked versions of previously released B-Sides from Hysteria/Adrenalize. Various alternate versions were included with a bonus third version of 'Miss You In A Heartbeat' at the end.
