Legendary Rockers Celebrate 40 Years With A 19-Song Collection That Includes Essential Tracks Along With A Previously Unreleased Cover Of “Born To Be Wild”.

Twisted Sister’s high-decibel anthems, raucous shows and memorable videos took the hard-rocking quintet from playing bars in the Seventies to headlining festivals in the Eighties. The band, which has sold more than 10 million records worldwide, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this summer with one final tour.

To honor this hairy, scary and legendary band’s legacy, Rhino will release a 19-song collection that spotlights Twisted Sister’s best, including the group’s biggest hits — “I Wanna Rock” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” In addition, the compilation will feature the band’s previously unreleased cover of Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild.”.

This new collection highlights three songs from the band’s first gold record You Can’t Stop Rock ‘n’ Roll: ‘I Am (I’m Me)’, ‘The Kids Are Back’, along with the title track.

Stay Hungry, released in 1984 and produced by Tom Werman (Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick), the album went multi-platinum in the USA, with sales of more than three million. The album is well represented on BEST OF THE ATLANTIC YEARS with six songs: ‘I Wanna Rock’, ‘The Price’, ‘SMF’, ‘The Beast’, ‘Burn In Hell’ and ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’.

The second half of the compilation focuses on the band’s last two releases on Atlantic Records: the gold-certified Come Out & Play (1985) and Love Is For Suckers (1987). Among the highlights are: ‘You Want What We Got’, a cover of the Shangri-La’s ‘Leader Of The Pack’, ‘Hot Love’ and ‘Love Is For Suckers’.

Twisted Sister is now available. Track Listing 1. “What You Don’t Know (Sure Can Hurt You)” 2. “I’ll Never Grow Up, Now!” 3. “Sin After Sin” 4. “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll” 5. “I Am (I’m Me)” 6. “The Kids Are Back” 7. “I Wanna Rock” 8. “We’re Not Gonna Take It” 9. “The Price” 10. “S.M.F.” 11. “The Beast” 12. “Burn In Hell” 13. “Come Out And Play” 14. “Leader Of The Pack” 15. “The Fire Still Burns” 16. “You Want What We Got” 17. “Hot Love” 18. “Love Is For Suckers” 19. “Born To Be Wild” – Previously Unreleased
