The album featured the [[Dave Mustaine]]/[[David Ellefson]]/[[Jimmy DeGrasso]]/[[Al Pitrelli]] line-up on the new tracks "Kill The King" and "Dread and the Fugitive Mind". The album features a hidden track, which is a [[medley (music)|medley]] of numerous previous Megadeth songs. The album contains songs from all previously released albums except the band's debut, ''[[Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!]]'', because that album was released on [[Combat Records]]. Originally, Capitol Punishment was the album later released as ''[[The World Needs a Hero]]'' on [[Sanctuary Records]]. This was released as a promo, but when it became apparent that the album was going to be released in its current state, the promos were quickly recalled. It is currently available as a bootleg entitled ''Original Capitol Punishment''. All songs were remixed on the final release. ==Track listing== # "Kill the King" (previously unreleased, later appeared in ''[[Greatest Hits: Back to the Start]]'') # "Dread and the Fugitive Mind" (previously unreleased, later appeared on ''[[The World Needs a Hero]]'' and ''[[Greatest Hits: Back to the Start]]'') # "Crush 'Em" (from ''[[Risk (album)|Risk]]'') # "Use the Man" (from ''[[Cryptic Writings]]'') # "Almost Honest" (from ''[[Cryptic Writings]]'') # "[[Trust (Megadeth song)|Trust]]" (from ''[[Cryptic Writings]]'') # "[[A Tout le Monde]]" (from ''[[Youthanasia]]'') # "[[Train of Consequences]]" (from ''[[Youthanasia]]'') # "[[Sweating Bullets (song)|Sweating Bullets]]" (from ''[[Countdown to Extinction]]'') # "[[Symphony of Destruction]]" (from ''[[Countdown to Extinction]]'') # "[[Hangar 18]]" (from ''[[Rust in Peace]]'') # "[[Holy Wars...
