Falco - The Sound Of Musik - The Greatest Hits (Vinyl 2LP | EU Original | 2022)

Falco – The Sound Of Musik – The Greatest Hits is a best-of compilation by Viennese singer Falco (Johann Hölzel, 1957–1998). Sony Music Austria released it on February 4, 2022, shortly before what would have been his 65th birthday, on CD and double LP. Its 19 tracks run from "Ganz Wien" and "Der Kommissar" through "Rock Me Amadeus", which took Falco to the top of the US charts in 1986, to "Out Of The Dark". The vinyl edition adds "Brillantin' Brutal" and, as a bonus, a 2022 re-edit of "Rock Me Amadeus". This copy is the 2022 European original.
