A MONSTER of an album - an obvious clich for this band, but true.

After more than 25 years in the business, there's plenty of material to pick from, but they have managed to balance old and new with material taken from their third Rock in Rio show. And for the nostalgic, this album is available as a limited edition triple picture disc: yes it comes in vinyl. The highlight has got to be the grand finale of Run To The Hills - the income from the recent single and benefit charity gigs goes to the Clive Burr Multiple Sclerosis Trust Fund (Burr was the drummer on the original single and has the disease himself). Heavy metal with a conscience, and it sounds great too.
