Heavy Hitters is a 2005 album of cover songs by the Michael Schenker Group . Originally planned by Schenker as a collection of covers featuring himself and a "revolving all-star cast of guest musicians," the album was labeled and marketed as an MSG album, with the result that Schenker received only a flat fee.[3]
In 2008,[4] it was re-released as a Michael Schenker solo album under the title Doctor Doctor: The Kulick Sessions and included four additional tracks (1-2 and 13-14). A Deluxe Digital version of this release is available under the "Guitar Masters: The Kulick Sessions" title. This contains instrumental versions of all the songs on the album except 'Save Yourself'.[5] The album was re-issued again in 2011 with the title By Invitation Only by the Store For Music label, including the song "Run to the Hills ", which Schenker and McAuley had recorded for the Iron Maiden tribute album Numbers from the Beast .[6]
