[Heeplist] Remasters - The Official Anthology

[Bob Winward]

At the time Remasters came out it was hot and relevant.  Now 12 years later,
we have heard Heep do all of these songs live in the setlist over the years.
So there is no longer any mystery or excitement left to the collection.
Maybe in 2002 I would have said "a must have"
