Annotation

CD2 has a song of each previous album. A Darker Shade of Black on CD1 sounds the same as on the previous album. Wish You Were Here sounds like a New recording. Der Letzte Musketeer is a tribute to one of Blackmore's early bands, The Three Musketeers. The two other members have passed on.
