Monsters of Rock Live

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The length of the last cd track of each disc is much longer than the track indicated on the track listing eg. Babe (live) by Styx fades out around 4:37 but more tracks follow later, at an inappropriately low recording level (if you can jump to say 24:00 you can hear what I mean).

There was a period when these newspaper cds put a gap (10:00 minutes commonly) on the end of the last well known major artist track before the "bonus" tracks appeared. This one is an example of where they hadn't yet got it quite right.
