Customer Reviews:

European melodic metal.......2007-03-27

Vandenberg was a metal group from the Netherlands that released three CDs in the early 1980s. They deserved more recognition than they achieved: their songs were melodic, and they featured superb guitar work. The main benefit to owning this CD is the remastering: the sound is crystal clear. The selection of songs on the first CD is also much better than on the competing Best of Vandenberg collection. This compilation, however, should have been limited to the first CD, which showcases the band at its best. The second CD, unfortunately, consists mainly of unreleased material from the archives, and could have been omitted.

Make it about 4.5 stars and a must for Vandy fans!.......2004-04-10

This is a bit of pricey 2-CD set, but if you dig Vandenberg, you have to consider getting this! The first disc is pretty much a greatest-hits collection. But as with any greatest-hits collection from about any artist, one can complain about omitted tracks. In this case, the studio version of "Friday Night" and the awesome instrumental "Prelude Mortale" are missing. But overall, disc 1 hits most of the highlights from Vandenberg's catalog and is 75 minutes long.

Interestingly, you'll definitely need to enjoy the track, "Burning Heart", as it appears here three(!) times. The very first track is "Burning Heart (2004)" and it's a very worthy version. This one features more acoustic guitars, a few electronic percussion flourishes and some symphonic-sounding backing as well as some electric guitar. Sometimes when an artist says that they've got a "2004" version of an older song, they ruin it by making it "modern rock" or "nu-metal". Not here. As for other versions of "Burning Heart", the original studio version closes out disc 1. Disc 2 closes out with an all-acoustic version of "Burning Heart", though you can still hear some strings (violas, cellos, violins) in a few spots. Overall, I really enjoyed the new versions.

Disc 2 is what is really a treat for the fans. It contains 7 demo versions and 3 live tracks. The demos are really eye-opening - they sound almost album-quality. It's fun to hear these demos and see what made it to the albums. The live tracks are quite cool and "Friday Night" is present, taken from a gig in Japan. Another rare track "Roll Through The Night" is also served up from a concert in the USA.

If you like Vandenberg, you'll want this one even if you've got the studio albums. So it's pricey but worth it.
