Hitkillers/The Beast Of Claw Boys Claw

Hitkillers/The Beast of Claw Boys Claw is a compilation album by Dutch rock and roll band Claw Boys Claw. The album, released on CD only, combines their fourth studio album Hitkillers (released only on vinyl) and a selection of earlier songs, re-recorded and remixed.

Hitkillers only contains cover versions of hit songs by a variety of other Dutch artists, such as Golden Earring ("Back Home"), Pussycat ("Mississippi"), Cuby & the Blizzards ("Appleknockers Flophouse") and The Nits ("In The Dutch Mountains"). While the Shocking Blue song "Venus" on this compilation album also fits the category, it was not part of the original Hitkillers album.
