"Made in USA in 2002, Serial# 75517-45917-2, Playing Time 38:13This 10 track compilation is buried deep within the numerous titles available by this band, and it's a position well deserved.There are so many UH compilations to choose from, and this is probably one of the strangest...An eclectic selection of material covering their albums between "Demons And Wizards" and "Head First" (the MERCURY era), we're treated here to tracks that, even though often interesting and often under-rated, could hardly represent "classic" HEEP material, like "Love Stealer" from the "Conquest" album...The album explores the band numerous "moods" and sounds, from ballads like "Wise Man" to the rocking "One Way Or Another". Interesting as most of UH's material might be, giving us only 38 minutes of music is surely not the best place to be introduced to this fabulous group.The packaging is typical of "budget" compilations (a simple insert without details, liner notes or credits of any kind); spend a little more on almost any of their other compilations, and you'll get a lot more bang for your buck!"
