 (The Essential Scorpions) |
Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads is a 1989 compilation album of 1980s hits by the German hard rock band Scorpions.
The record features several rare or completely unreleased tracks: "Hey You", from the group's Animal Magnetism sessions; the re-recorded "long version" of "Is There Anybody There?"; and a cover of The Who's "I Can't Explain", which was also included on that same year's Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell charity compilation album.
The track listing and individual running times differ between the US, European and Asian editions. The US version omits several tracks, but includes the longer, unedited version of "Hey You". The European version was re-released as The Essential Scorpions in 2003.
Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads reached platinum status in the USA.
