Yngwie J. Malmsteen
The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection
The Story
"The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection" is a compilation record released to fulfill contractual obligations with PolyGram Records. Yngwie J. Malmsteen, the universally heralded neo-classical king, arrived on the scene in 1983 to rescue the rock guitar world from itself. Malmsteen's fierce picking and inimitable vibrato were like a gust of fresh air. He recorded six albums for PolyGram, and this collection is composed of highlights from the releases. "The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection" would be a great buy for anyone needing an introduction to the virtuoso guitarist and his music.
