Album Notes & Community Reviews

Focusing exclusively on their highly prolific, Uli Jon Roth-driven era on RCA Records, this compilation captures the German quintet's evolution into a formidable international force. The blinding, neoclassical guitar wizardry and soaring vocals expertly bridged the gap between seventies hard rock and the impending heavy metal explosion.
