Review

Where’s the Artwork?
“In most used record stores, this collection would likely be more expensive than the three original albums put together, so It would be more worth your while now to actually go out and buy the individual albums. There’s also the disappointing lack of artwork or liner notes, something most people appreciate, especially on an album like Caress of Steel [where context is important]. Really, in the end, this particular collection is more for bragging rights than anything else for fans and collectors.”—King By-Tor on Prog Archives (edited)

Too many compilations?
