"BEST BALLADS"

This collection of Toto's ballads was released in 1995, with a special version for the Benelux (the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourgh) containing extra tracks and acoustic versions of some songs (taken from "Absolutely live"). The songs taken from the albums "Toto", "Hydra", "Turn back", "Toto IV", "Isolation" and "Fahrenheit" were remastered.


The sleeve notes contain the following text:

"Dear listeners,

Here they are - some of our very special songs, written over the years, and each with its own story. Ballads have always been an important part of Toto's music and they don't just explore the other side of a rock & roll band: slow jams express a different kind of feeling and emotion. So sit back and enjoy these special moments. -- David Paich and Steve Lukather

"Toto means more than just music to me. Toto has been my family, my home for twenty-two years. Together we have celebrated huge success as well as overcoming lows and great misfortunes. But we have always stood by one another. And the same goes for the future. -- Steve Lukather"

The booklet further contains a short version of the Toto history up to 1994, written by Thomas Steinberg.
