In this collection you will hear songs that were written in the time span from 1986-1994. For some of you, this will be a stroll down memory lane, and for you newer fans you will hear some classic Iced Earth material, re-mixed, re-sung, and on a few tunes, bass and drum tracks re-recorded.

Tracks 1-5 is a reworked version of first studio recordings in 1986.
Tracks 1-1, 1-2, 1-6, 1-9, 2-10 are reworked versions of the Enter The Realm demo.
Tracks 1-10, 2-2, 2-5 are reworked versions of Iced Earth.
