Capitol Punishment: The Megadeth Years' Released 20 Years Ago Today
On this day in 2000, our first compilation album, Capitol Punishment: The Megadeth Years was released. The album included two new songs, “Kill the King” & “Dread and the Fugitive Mind”, twelve other tracks from our earlier Capitol Records releases, and a hidden medley. A notable aspect of Capitol Punishment is that the album’s sequence moves backwards from 1999’s Risk to 1986’s Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?.
