Best Shots is a Platinum-certified greatest hits album released by the American rock singer Pat Benatar in 1987 in Europe and in an updated version in 1989 in North America. It peaked at No. 67 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, two years after the album peaked at No. 6 in the UK.
"Two Shots at Glory" serves as a commemoration of Crazy Lixx's illustrious 20+ year career, featuring reimagined renditions of their iconic choruses, unforgettable hooks, and electrifying guitar solos, all while introducing some exciting new surprises. Each song is accompanied by a video, part of the ‘Unofficial Sound Tracks’ “UST”. “For almost a year now I’ve been doing these UST (as opposed to the widely known term OST), where I reimagine our music as the soundtrack to 1980s and 1990s movies. This era profoundly influenced me as a musician, music producer, and videographer". These UST videos draw inspiration from a wide range of films, from blockbuster hits of the 90s to lesser-known 80s B-movies.
