MY WAY: THE HITS

Limited double gold and purple colored vinyl LP pressing. My Way is a posthumous compilation album by Dutch rock 'n' roll and blues artist Herman Brood, released shortly after his suicide on 11 July 2001. The album produced a #1 single, the first of Brood's career: "My Way" reached #1 on 18 August 2001. On the Dutch album chart, the album reached #5 on 20 October 2001, and stayed on the chart for 57 weeks. It was certified gold in 2002. Known for his hedonistic lifestyle of "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll," Brood was an enfant terrible and a cultural figure whose suicide, apparently caused by a failure to kick his drug and alcohol habit, only strengthened his controversial status. His suicide, according to a poll organized to celebrate fifty years of Dutch popular music, was the most significant event in it's history.
