martindavey87 I found this 1999 promo CD in a second hand shop for £1 and, being the collector that I am, had to purchase it, even though it offered nothing I didn't already have numerous times over. Released as a digipak with a plain black cover featuring the bands logo, this unnamed sampler, which conveniently has 'Sampler 01' on its spine, consists of a handful of totally random Megadeth songs that don't seem to flow or show any coherence whatsoever.

But that's okay, right? I mean, it's only intended for promotional purposes. And while there's a couple of songs I'm not overly bothered about, there's still a good representation of the bands career, up until that point, of course.

The sampler includes 'Crush 'Em', the lead single of the bands then-upcoming 1999 release 'Risk', as well as classics such as 'Holy Wars... The Punishment Due', 'Symphony of Destruction', 'Peace Sells' and 'Train of Consequences', all are fan favourites, as well as the bands cover of the Sex Pistols classic 'Anarchy in the UK'.

No doubt you'd have to be a serious uber-fan to track this CD down at this point. Especially as there's countless compilations far exceeding this in song variety and duration. But still, it's Megadeth damn it! There's no denying the quality of the music here, and if you're a super nerdy collector like me, then picking this up for a £1 just to sit on the shelf is an acceptable price to pay.
