What a killer CD! One of the best greatest hits type packages ever assembled. One stop shopping for all your Scorpion needs. Only complaint: where's the brilliant "I'm Leaving You" from "Love at First Sting"?

From: TIM	Date: October 26, 2002 at 12:08
I love that song too koogles. Most bands generally leave out a hit or two so you go after the original album. Even though I hate that, it is a sound strategy.

I'm sure you knew that already. No insult intended. We would probably do the same thing if we were in their shoes.

I'm confused. I was never really into Scorpions, so naturally I don't know much about them or their releases. Is this some kind of box-set or a double cd set, because I have a copy of this but there's only 15 songs on it, all the songs are on this release too except for "I'm Leaving You", which are only on my copy, and the "Coast To Coast" song aren't live here. My copy was released in 1995. The Cover are exactly the same. What the hell is going on?

From: Blue Tequila	Date: April 30, 2003 at 13:19
Kristian--looks like the release you have is a one disc compilation put out by EMI Music Germany. The release listed here is a 2 cd set. Hope that helps.

From: Kristian	Date: April 30, 2003 at 15:04
Thanks Blue Tequila, It's strange though, that they decided to put one song (I'm Leaving You) on the release I have, and not on the 2 disc set.

From: Blaster	Date: March 14, 2004 at 5:17
It's kind of an insult to not include "Another Piece Of Meat", but this 2 disc set is excellent throughout, not a weak song in the bunch, showing how consistently excellent the band was. My personal favorites are the sparse "The Zoo" and the throbbing "Passion Rules The Game", that song is so underrated and i'm glad its included on this one.

From: Ratt72	Date: August 22, 2004 at 1:25
To be a perfect "Greatest Hits" it should be included "Another Piece of Meat, im Leaving You, Crazy World and Lust or Love"...but thats ok nobodys perfect.

El Deadly sting que yo me compré no era "mercury years", era solo un cd, pero incluia esta impresionante canción: EDGE OF TIME

Please stop the pain !!!

Spare us the compilations at this point, feed us food instead.

A great set, sure enough. All the essential tracks are here, and enough deeper cuts (lesser singles, really) to make you feel like you're not buying one of those cheap-Charlie "Super Hits"/"20th Century Masters" compilations. Really, no complaints other than Savage Amusement being unworthy of five songs (over half the album) appearing here. The two new songs are absolutely nothing special, either.
