Liner Notes from Axel Rudi Pell:

“Thanks to all the people who bought “The Crest” and made it such a great success. It hit the official Charts in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Finland so far.

We did the first part of “The Crest” Tour in April / May this year and a few summer shows as well, which took us also to the “Masters Of Rock” Festival in the Czech Republic where we played for the first time. It was a huge success and we had a blast !

During our last shows I extended the guitar solo of the epic track “Dreaming Dead” and it was very well received by the audience. So as the idea came up from SPV, to release some kind of a “Special Edition” of “The Crest”, I entered the studio in September to record the “extended guitar solo” for “Dreaming Dead”. I think this new longer version makes this song, which is one of my favorites, even more epic.

Also a lot of people kept on asking for another Live album, so we decided to give this bonus on Disk 2 to you in form of the audio files from our last DVD “One Night Live”, which was recorded at the “Rock OF Ages” Festival in July 2009.

Now the summer break is over and we`re looking forward to the second part of “The Crest” Tour in Jan. / Feb. 2011.
Have fun with this “Deluxe Edition” and we`ll see you on tour !”

Best,
Axel Rudi Pell
