    I too have (had) a massive HW vinyl collection. When CD's first began to trickle out, HW like many bands weren't well represented. Collections/Best of's became very common, because this new medium was untested, maybe it would go over well. When stuff did begin to come out, much of it was inferior to the LP release, i. e. bogus cover art reproduction, no lyrics, shoddy mastering to CD, lost tracks. That again it made buying difficult. Then after you buy all the bands stuff it gets re-released in much better packaging (Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, and on and on) HW is now going through this renaissance, the EMI remasters are awesome, basically. The whole back catalog is getting a facelift for the most part. Newbies or hesitant buyers are lucky as the stuff coming out nowadays is better than the first round of releases.

Which is why I will give anyone the import copy of Levitation the one w/o Nucleaur Toy on it for the price of postage.
