Headhunter Blitz is a best-of compilation by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus .
background
After three compilations published by Ariola and Arista respectively, Headhunter Blitz is the fourth best-of compilation by Krokus . However, this best-of album with the label “Priceless Collection”, which is offered at a bargain price and is available in two different cover artwork, was released by the record companies Collectables and BMG , two labels that the band never had a regular contract. In contrast to The Definitive Collection , published two years earlier, the songs on Headhunter Blitz are not digitally remastered versions, but the original recordings. The compilation, which is not listed in the discography on the band's official website, contains songs from the studio albums from 1982 to 1986, from One Vice at a Time to Change of Address . The majority of this compilation is to be viewed critically, because like Stayed Awake All Night: The Best Of it only contains ten songs, four of which are cover versions.
