Founding members Dave Mustaine (guitar/vocals) and Dave Ellefson (bass) changed their ways before work on their fourth album began, hiring drummer Nick Menza and ex-Cacophony guitarist Marty Friedman.

MTV put the clip for "You Got Another Thing Coming" in heavy rotation, and the song became one of heavy metal's all-time classic anthems.

Includes the bonus tracks 'Prisoner Of Your Eyes', and 'Devils Child' (live). 12 tracks Digitally remastered by Jon Astley. Recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain.
