1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away, January 10, 2003

This review is from: Best of Rockers n' Ballads (Audio CD)

Just got this disc after getting just about all the EMI remasters. Those remasters are some of the best, and this remaster is probably the absolute worst I've ever heard. The vocals are turned down, no warmth, the bottom end seems to have been removed, and it sounds sloppy, like they remastered this off a cassette tape someone made on their bad home stereo that's deteriorated since 1989.

The version of "Hey You" on here is the sloppier-sounding, short version found on Animal Magnetism, not the good, longer version on the original Best of Rockers N Ballads.

Unfortunately, this appears to be the only remastered version of the remixed "Holiday" other then the one found on Deadly Sting. Maybe it's on that Gold box Asian import, guess I'll find out when I get that.

Regretfully, I can't think of a single reason for anyone to buy this.

If you want a Scorpions "greatest hits" CD, this is NOT the one to get. It is worth shelling out a few more buck to get "The No. 1's" or "Deadly Sting:The Mercury Years."

I would think that most Scorpions fans, would want the songs that are missing from this compilation. I don't recommend buying this CD simply because there are better options out there.
