Review - :
Here's a roomy two-disc Tardis that transports you back to the center of the original storm. {@Castle} has reissued the same rabbit from their hat so many times that you'd be justified in expecting another unnecessary trip, but you'll want to get on board for {^Travellers in Time: Anthology, Vol. 1}. Spot-on in its selection and sound quality, this is desert-island {$Uriah Heep} (the participation of {$Ken Hensley} in compiling this set underscores that pedigree). {^Travellers} goes well beyond the borders of {^The Best of Uriah Heep} (yes, all the versions) and cuts out the fluff from the four-disc {^A Time of Revelation} (not to mention the price). The result is pure gold, drawing liberally from their best albums ({^Salisbury}, {^Look at Yourself}, {^Demons and Wizards}, and {^The Magician's Birthday}), while distilling the highlights from some of their less-inspired efforts (e.g., salvaging only the title track from {^Return to Fantasy}). If, in listening to these discs, you think you've forgotten how good {$Heep} was, you haven't. They were never this good this consistently; those {$Mick Box} guitar solos never bit so deep, their ambitious harmonies were never so unfailingly on key, the phased effects never so jarring, but good remasters have given their old material a new life. If you haven't dusted off those {$David Byron}-era {$Heep} records in a while, or you're a relatively new fan unfamiliar with the band's classic material, {^Travellers in Time} is the perfect way to get acquainted (or re-acquainted) with the band's best music. Not only is the sound excellent and the price right, but the packaging is pretty good too: The double-disc set is fit into a nice cardboard sleeve and includes a mini-poster. ~ Dave Connolly, All Music Guide
