[Heeplist] Uriah Heep 50 Years In Rock box set coming in October

[Tapio Minkkinen]

You're welcome, Norbert

It does say "19 CDs including all the studio albums" and "Includes every 
studio album" but I guess they could have explained it a bit better.

The "members choices" are all Heep songs but I don't know anything more.
