According to a posting on the Michael Schenker News and Tour Information web site, Store For Music will release a new Michael Schenker covers album on June 3.
“Heavy Hitters”, the 2005 covers album featured Schenker and a revolving all-star cast of guest musicians. In 2008, it was re-released as a Michael Schenker solo album under the title “Doctor Doctor: The Kulick Sessions” and included four additional tracks – “Save Yourself”, “Finding My Way”, “Doctor Doctor” (instrumental) and “War Pigs”. This latest re-release, entitled “By Invitation Only” contains all the previous cover tracks supplemented with the Iron Maiden cover “Run To The Hills” with Robin McAuley, a track which originally appeared on the Iron Maiden tribute “Numbers From The Beast”.
