Covers Duran Duran style
This would be Duran Durans last studio release with Parlophone (they had one more with Capitol in North America and are now signed to Parlophones current sister label Warner Bros.) They thought they had their second wind with the 1993 "Wedding" album but were back at the starting gate with this follow-up which was slated on sight yet had the blessings of the artists covered especially the late SU alum Lou Reed with lead single Perfect Day (Femme Fatale was covered on the last album and appears as a bonus track in Japan). The one track that should have been switched with the other Japanese extra Bowies Diamond Dogs should have been Public Enemys 911 is a Joke (they call it 999 in the UK) yet Simon leBon gives Flavour Flav a run for his money and big clock! The Zeppelin title cut was also on the all-star tribute album Enconium as well as the soundtrack to With Honours starring Joe Pesci and Brendan Fraser (Madge had the lead single on that one yet isn't on Bedtime Stories I don't think). The closest thing to an original is an update of 1982s The Chauffeur called Drive By. I've also gotten CDs of Mr Laurie Anderson, Iggy Pop, The Doors, Led Z, Bob Dylan (via Travelling Wilburys) and Sly and the Family Stone. My copy was sent by FedEx from Venezuela but it's not everyday I use them so it's fine by me.

The end of an era
The Devil You Know is the only studio release by Heaven & Hell under that name (Sabbaths answer to Yes spinoff ABWH in a way). It is also Ronnie James Dios final studio album in his lifetime as he passed away from cancer a year after the release. This is Dio-era Sabbath in all but name as anything brand new by Sabbath proper has to have Ozzy Osbourne who gave his blessing to H&H and later showed concern to his onetime Sabb successor when Dio was nearing his deathbed ending their David Lee Roth-Sammy Hagar-esque rivalry hopefully (even though Dio may never have reconciled with Vivian Campbell who would survive a cancer ordeal of his own). As for the album it picks up where Dehumanizer left off like nothing ever went wrong. There were three new tracks on The Dio Years and H&H decided to start over from scratch after nearly two decades apart. They end this period on a high note not sure that this truly would be the elder statesman of metals swan song. Now I must get the first album from Elf as well as a few more LPs from this lineup.

Not just another greatest hits
Not to be confused with the Archive boxed sets.
This compilation covers almost every vintage of the band as well as some solo highlights. There was a documentary with it, but it downplayed Steve Hackett and Ray Wilsons time in the band. At least you get a taste for their outside projects aside from Messrs Collins, Gabriel and Rutherford (Mike & the Mechanics) but no Wilson or Anthony Phillips.
