Decade of Decadence '81-'91

Decade of Decadence is an album by Mötley Crüe, released on October 19, 1991. It was the sixth album and the first of many greatest hits compilations released by the group. Though it was intended to be the band’s first compilation album, the content was unlike a standard compilation release. As well as six of the band’s big hits, it featured three remixes (“Live Wire “, “Piece Of Your Action [Screamin’ ‘91 Remix]” and “Home Sweet Home [‘91 Remix]”) … , a soundtrack contribution (“Rock N’ Roll Junkie”), a compilation album track “Teaser” (previously released on the Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell album), a previously unreleased live track (“”Kickstart My Heart” “) and three newly recorded songs “Primal Scream”, “Angela”, Anarchy in the UK”.

The remix version of “Home Sweet Home” was a Top 40 hit in 1991, reaching #37 on the Billboard Hot 100. The original 1985 version only reached #89 on the same chart.

The album is now out of print, having been “replaced” by Greatest Hits in 1998. The latter compilation featured a different track order, including previously unreleased material.

The songs, “Teaser”, “Rock N’ Roll Junkie”, “Primal Scream”, “Angela” and “Anarchy in the UK” were reissued on the Supersonic and Demonic Relics compilation in 1999, and the Remixes of “Live Wire”, “Piece of Your Action”, “Home Sweet Home” and the live version of “Kickstart My Heart” were reissued on the Music to Crash Your Car to: Vol. 2 box set.
