CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the German guitarist's 1983 album including nine bonus tracks. Formerly a member of both Scorpions and UFO, Schenker's finest fretwork can be found on his releases under the name Michael Schenker Group (or MSG). When Built To Destroy was released in the U.S., the album had undergone remixes and reshuffling, resulting in an album of equal intensity but a different feel. This edition features the original nine track UK version of the album, followed by the nine song U.S. mix. 18 tracks. EMI. 2009. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAhh, the original release... J. Goldsmith | 07/22/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "All these years after buying the original UK release, back in 1983, the UK release is back. It was nice, but not good enough, that the 1996 release had several of the original mixed tracks. All CD releases of this album have been the US release, until now. The sound is different. Much heavier. The US has always thought it knew best when it came to artists and the sound they wanted to hear. Among other artists, such as Whitesnake, this has never been true. Europe always rocked better than the US in the 80's. The US only ever wanted 'radio-friendly' nonsense. While the 80's US audiences would've preferred to hear their metal on the radio, metal was rarely played until the late '80s. So what was wrong with the European mixes of albums? NOTHING. Glad this one's back. If you're an MSG fan and have only heard the US mix, you must pick this up. The US/polished image of Schenker was never necessary. Strange how in the liner notes for this release, Schenker is quoted as having preferred the US mix. Well, I don't. And you'll agree once you've heard this."
