IN THE HISTORY OF THIS ALBUM
WE WENT BACK TO THE ANGALOG TAPES DURING THE REMASTERING PROCESS
FOR ALL OF THE AUDIO CONTENT IN THIS COLLECTION
AND WE TRANFERED EVERYTHING FROM 192KH TO 24BIT HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO
TO ENSURE THAT WE HAD THE MOST PRESTINE BEST SOUNDING AUDIO POSSIBLE
THIS ALSO ALLOWED US TO ENSURE THAT ANY TICKS POPS
OR ANY OTHER AUDIO BLEMISHES
THAT COME FROM ANGALOG TAPE WERE ELIMINATED
THIS NEXT PAGES SHOWCASES THE BONUS CONTENT
CD TWO HERE FREATURES A
A COMPLETION OF VARIOUS B SIDES AND EPS THAT WERE RELEASED
BOTH BEFORE DURING AND AFTER THE ALBUM CYCLE
THE NEXT TWO DISC CDS THREE AND FOUR
FEATURE THE UNRELEASED RECORDINGS BY BOTH MANNY CHARLTON AND MIKE CLINK
THE 25 RECORDINGS THAT MANNY CHARLTON DID
WERE RECORDED AT THE SOUND CITY STUDIOS
THE TWO OUTAKES THAT MIKE CLINK DID
WERE SHOUT OUT YOUR LOVE WHICH IS OUT NOW AS A SINGLE
AND WAS THE RECORDING SESSION THE BAND DID TO TRY OUT MIKE CLINK
TO SEE IF THEY WANTED TO HIRE HIM
AND THE LAST RECORDING IS MOVE TO THE CITY
1998 ACOUSTIC VERSION
THAT IS AN OUTAKE FROM THE GNR LIVE SESSION
TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE MOST FANS HAD NO IDEA THAT
THIS OUTAKE EVEN EXISTS
AND IS TRULY TRULY INCREDIBLE
THE LAST DISC IS THE BLU-RAY AUDIO DISC
WE HAVE GONE BACK TO THE MULTI TRACK AUDIO FOR THE ALBUM

THE NEXT ITEMS ARE FIVE BAND MEMBERS HEAD SHOT LITHOS
SHOT BY ROSS HALFIN
AND HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNSEEN BY ANYONE
FOR A LITTLE BACKGROUND TO HOW THE ALBUM GOT ITS NAME
WHICH IS BASICALLY FROM THE ROBERT WILLIAMS PAINTING
THIS ROBERT WILLIAMS PAINTING WAS THE ORIGINAL COVER
OF THE ALBUM
UNFORTUNATELY RETAILERS DIDN'T LIKE THE COVER
AND AS OF SUCH THE LABEL HAD TO PULL THE ALBUMS FROM RETAIL
AND CAME UP WITH THE CLASSIC CROSS COVER THAT EVERYONE KNOWS
AND LOVES TODAY
THE REASON FOR THAT CHANGE WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COVER
DEPICTED A SCENE WHERE A YOUNG LADY WAS BEING ASSULTED
ON THE STREETS
THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND THIS PAINTING WAS ACTUALLY A
ANTI RAPE MESSAGE
WITH THE METAL AVENGER ATTACKING THE ASSULTANT
AND THE LAST ITEM IN THE SUPER DELUXE EDITION
IS A REALLY INCREDIBLE WALL POSTER TAKEN
BUT NONE OTHER THAN ROSS HALFIN
THATS THE GUNS AND ROSES
APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION SUPER DELUXE EDITION
