On August 28, Capitol/EMI will release Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche in CD, 2-CD Collectors Edition packages and digitally. The new career-spanning hits collection features 17 of Queensryche’s best singles and album tracks, including seven Top 10 Mainstream Rock hits, packaged in a jewel case with a 16-page booklet featuring custom artwork, a discography, and track notes from the band’s singer, Geoff Tate. The Collectors Edition, presented in deluxe digipak packaging, adds a second disc of 15 rare and previously unreleased demos, outtakes, remixes, live recordings, television performance audio, recordings for soundtracks and a new, never-before-heard song.
Among Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche’s 17 hits and favorites are the #1 smash "Silent Lucidity," "Jet City Woman," "Eyes of a Stranger" and "Another Rainy Night (Without You)," and more than a dozen other well-known songs. The 15 tracks on the Collectors Edition’s rarities disc include three demo recordings by Myth (lead vocalist Geoff Tate's band prior to Queensryche), three demo recordings from The Warning, three bonus tracks from the reissued Empire album, bonus tracks from the reissued Promised Land and Q2K albums, an intoxicating live version of "Silent Lucidity," a previously unreleased version of "Della Brown” recorded for MTV Unplugged, and a new track making its release debut, "Justified," recorded with original Queensryche guitarist Chris DeGarmo.
