This is the first best-of for Nightwish; released by Drakkar Records, the band’s German record company from Oceanborn to Century Child. This is why the tracklist only offers songs from that period. Note: the last four tracks on this CD are “rare tracks”.
Release date : October 18th 2004 Written and composed by Tuomas Holopainen except : Sacrament Of Wilderness : Tuomas / Tuomas-Emppu Walking In The Air : Howard Blake Over The Hills And Far Away : Gary Moore

For this first best-of, Drakkar Records offers a nice object: a cover specifically designed for the CD, 15 tracks (among which 4 are rather rare), a booklet that gives an historic vision of the band’s different periods. Simple but nice and thoughtful.
Gold record:
Many copies of the best-of were sold in Germany and it was made gold record in the country. Drakkar Records organized a small party to which Nightwish was invited. While attending the party, they were given gold records that added to their growing collection!
