[Heeplist] Remasters - The Official Anthology

[Bob Winward]

Like Evert, I played it quite a bit when it first came out.  It is basically
the Shaw Lanzon lineup putting their stamp on all the heep classics.  They
did a great job, but now 12 years later, I still prefer the Byron era lineup
doing a song like Sunrise, then the Shaw era.
