Triumph are releasing in Europe on Frontiers Records the newest Greatest Hits compilation package on CD and DVD appropriately titled Greatest Hits Remixed.

The two-disc set, which will be in the shops on May 14th, includes a hit-laden 14 track CD, which was remixed by Rich Chycki (AEROSMITH, RUSH), giving the songs an incredible sonic wallop. A cover of the classic 'Love Hurts' (made famous by NAZARETH) sung by Moore will be the lead single.

The DVD features eleven promo and live videos in widescreen filmed over Triumph’s career, as well five bonus features, including 3 more unreleased videos ('Child Of The City', 'Blinding Light Show' and 'Love Hurts') and footage of Triumph’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame in 2008.

"We have been planning this release forever," says Mike Levine. "For years, Triumph fans have been demanding that we give them a fresh greatest hits package and they are going to love this one."

The six-panel digipak will also include a 20 pages full colour booklet, complete with liner notes, lyrics, credits and chock full of vintage photos and will most certainly be a hit with Triumph’s consistent legion of fans.

Triumph pushed the limits of Arena Rock to the max with their legendary live shows and virtuoso playing. Add to it some of the most recognizable and celebrated radio classics ('Lay It On The Line', 'Hold On', 'Fight The Good Fight' and 'Magic Power'), a vault full of gold and platinum sales awards for their ten studio albums and there you have one of the most successful rock acts of the 1970‘s/1980’s!
