An interesting purchase for all UDO fans

I was hoping for some unreleased material from 87-92 with Mathias Dieth. Considering UDO is making the same album for like 10 years, I'm not getting this.

I'm getting this for sure.

Nice collection. This will save you a lot of money buying this instead of trying to hunt down all the various singles and japanese releases. It's on the want list.

I'll get it.

What about the die hard fans that bought the japanish editions for the bonus tracks and the singles etc....????? Spending lots of money for nothing because now you have them on two cd´s together.

Not all of us are willing to pay the high price tag for an import. The only albums I got as imports were Allen/Lande-The Showdown (took too long for a U.S. release) and Rob Rock-Garden Of Chaos (also didn't want to wait for a domestic release and I prefered the alternative album cover).

I'm a diehard and have plenty of special editions and pre-release EPs and such, but I don't have all those songs. Even if you are a hardcore collector, having all these songs together on one collection isn't going to offend you. It's another CD to add to your collection.

BTW, the U.D.O. version of X-T-C is awesome! I have it on an U.D.O. DVD. It will be nice to have on CD finally.

It may be frustrating for collectors who already spent tons of money buying these releases, but it's still a good album if you're an UDO fan.

I understand you guys but some of us bought all those special editions only to have those songs. If i knew this was going to be released i would have saved dollars/euros.

I understand, but most of those 'obscure' tracks usually show up in some box set or as 'bonus tracks' in future releases anyhow. They never stay exclusive forever.

Thats true too.

I'm not that much of an U.D.O. fan, so it's unlikely that I'd get this. That being said, I think it's a great idea for a comp album. I wish more bands would do this.

I got my copy, and the album is very solid.

Lots of fun track, especially They only come out at night with Lordi

Still waiting though I did pre-order a copy.

After a rest period of buying CDs (about $300 this week alone-no more for 3-4 weeks) I will order this one and some others.

Stormbreaker is another amazing track. If you don't own this one yet, you will enjoy it

So it X-T-C. It's an underrated, forgotten Accept track that I am glad U.D.O. resurrected, even if it was just for a tribute.

Oh, my copy still hasn't arrived.

I ordered this yeasterday!
