The Epic Archive Vol. 3 (1984-1992)

Our thirdâ€”and finalâ€”package of Cheap Trick Epic rarities just might be the best yet! At least their legendary drummer Bun E. Carlos thinks soâ€”â€œIt really is a nice package!â€ he exclaims in the liner notes. Indeed, The Epic Archive Vol. 3 pulls off the unlikely feat of being simultaneously something of a greatest hits collection and also sonic catnip for deep Cheap Trick collectors. On the hits side, you get the single version of the bandâ€™s lone #1 hit, â€œThe Flame,â€ plus rare single versions of â€œItâ€™s Only Love,â€ â€œTonight Itâ€™s You,â€ and â€œDonâ€™t Be Cruelâ€ (labeled as the â€œBig New Mixâ€). Then come the soundtrack-only songs, which have never appeared on a Cheap Trick studio album before and come from some big-time films: â€œMighty Wingsâ€ from Top Gun, â€œMoney (Thatâ€™s What I Want)â€ from Caddyshack II, â€œYou Want Itâ€ from Say Anything, and â€œI Will Surviveâ€ from Gladiator. Alternate mixes of â€œLittle Sister,â€ â€œSheâ€™s Got Motion,â€ and â€œCanâ€™t Stop Fallinâ€™ into Loveâ€ and alternate versions of â€œHow About Youâ€ and â€œAll We Need Is a Dreamâ€ will quicken the pulse of collectors, as will â€œBig Bangâ€ from the Japanese version of the Busted album. The whole thing starts with an a cappella intro to the theme song from the 1984 movie Up the Creek, and we also found room for one of the great lost Beatles covers of all time, the bandâ€™s version of â€œMagical Mystery Tourâ€ that only appeared on their Greatest Hits release! The liner notes feature track-by-track commentary from Bun E. Carlos, Rick Nielsen, and Robin Zander via interviews with longtime band biographer Ken Sharp and Timothy J. Smith, the Epic Archive series compilation producer; once again, band lensman Robert Alford has contributed photos. Mastered by Mike Piacentini at Battery Studios in New Yorkâ€¦the thrilling conclusion to an Epic journey for Cheap Trick fans!
