Living Legend is a 2 CD compilation by French singer Amanda Lear released in Germany in 2003. Just like 2001's I'm A Mistery - The Whole Story this package contains all eight tracks from long-deleted 1987 album Secret Passion and also both A- and B-side of 1984 non-album single "Assasino" as well as two mixes of her 2000 collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, "From Here To Eternity", one of which had previously only been issued on vinyl. Besides this the mid-priced two disc Living Legend package offers re-recordings of Lear's 70's hits taken from 1998 album Back In Your Arms plus selected tracks from Cadavrexquis, Uomini Più Uomini and Alter Ego.
