Hated, damned, adored ... the last few years is the first official best-of album by the German rock band Böhse Onkelz . It was released on October 31, 1994 on the Bellaphon Records label . The name goes back to the song of the same name, which first appeared in 1992 on the album Heilige Lieder . The best of consists of two CDs, with the second CD only containing four remixes. The first CD contains 17 songs from the period from 1980 to 1994, including two new recordings, a remix and a previously unreleased title.
background
The album came about at a time when the Böhsen Onkelz had already fulfilled their contract with Bellaphon Records and were looking for a new record company. Bellaphon, on the other hand, tried to put together another record from their remaining rights to the songs. The Böhsen Onkelz had no legal means to prevent the album from being released. So it was decided to re-record some older pieces to make the record more attractive. The previously unknown, but already older piece Die Böhsen Onkelz do the honors , was also re-recorded for this compilation. After the record was released, the Böhsen Onkelz switched to Virgin Records . Hated, Damned, Adored wasn't the only compilation released by previous record labels against the band's will.
Cover design
The cover is in the colors red, orange, yellow and black and is a 3D effect picture of the band name. At the top is the words Hated, Damned, Adored and at the bottom ... the last few years .
