ALIEN – Best & Rare [2-CD set] out of print / Rare
As requested, here’s the properly titled ”Best & Rare”, a 2-CD release of wonderful Swedish AOR band ALIEN comprising the band’s best songs plus a ton of rare, mostly unreleased material.
One of the greatest AOR bands in history, ALIEN created in the ’80s some of the most impressive collection of songs from the genre. As most fans know, their self-titled essential album was remixed for its U.S. release.
Disc 1 takes tracks from the original European release and some from the U.S. mix, songs from the second and third album – additionally includes single versions of some tracks, different from the originals, never released on CD before.
Disc 2 is plenty of gems, with early mid-Eighties ALIEN recordings, demos, B-sides never on CD / digital, and unreleased tracks.
”Best & Rare” only was released in selected European countries, now a collector’s item and a must for AOR fans.
