Cover artwork messed up by Castle

"Uriah Heep's 'Demons And Wizards' is one of the greatest classic/progressive rock albums of all time, and one of my absolute favorites, too. So I was extremely displeased to see the bad job done by Castle on its cover artwork, and also on the covers of many other albums from their 1996/1997 series of remastered releases, most noticeably on this album and on 'Fallen Angel'. Although the CD's were sold with a sticker on them stating "faithfully restored artwork", the reality was exactly the opposite. The wonderful Roger Dean artwork for the 'Demons And Wizards' cover, which originally had a blueish overall tone, became annoyingly greenish in this Castle release. How and why they committed such a mistake is beyond my comprehension. As to the 'Fallen Angel' album, not only the colors were completely 'washed out', but the image resolution itself was extremely poor."

"The Greatest Heep Album ever just improved itself ten-fold. Three additional tracks, superb artwork and liner notes, and killer quality in remastering makes this a must have for anyone and everyone. From the opening riffs of the "Wizard" to the Conclusion of the "Spell", the listener will be transported back to a space in time that they won't want to let go of. So what are you waiting for? Bring this collection back "Home again to you"."
