The Hellacopters announce rarities collection “Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works • Volume 3”

Swedish high-energy rockers The Hellacopters have been celebrating their 30th anniversary recently and after releasing their much-lauded new album “Overdriver” on January 31, 2025, which reached No. 1 in the Swedish charts and a solid top 10 position in the German charts for the second time in the group’s career, it is time to offer their dedicated fanbase something truly nostalgic. “Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works • Volume 3” is the newest, long-overdue entry in a series of rarities collections that started in 2002, combining rare and lesser-known material from a myriad of Hellacopters singles, EPs, and compilation songs. The 24 tracks featured in this set have originally been released between 1998 and 2005, most of them only on vinyl and out-of-print CDs, and include originals like ‘Disappointment Blues’, ‘Freeway To Hell’, ‘Doggone Your Bad-Luck Soul’, ‘Ferrytale‘ and ‘Long Gone Losers’ as well as cover versions of songs by Motörhead, Wilson Pickett, MC5, Smokey Robinson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice Cooper, The Ramones, The Nomads, Adam West – whose singer Jake Starr penned liner notes for this release – and many, many more. Furthermore, a lot of these songs have never been released digitally. Meticulously compiled by Robert Eriksson, transferred from master tapes and vinyl by Henke Jonsson, and remastered for maximum audio fidelity by Magnus Lindberg, with “Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works • Volume 3” The Hellacopters present a stunning collection of incredible, high-octane rock’n’roll on this more than 75 minutes long double vinyl, CD and digital release. Scroll down for the full track list and release formats.

You can now stream the remastered version of ‘Long Gone Losers‘, which originally appeared on the 1998 EP “Disappointment Blues,” here:
