I went 11 HW albums before I had ever heard Silver Machine, believe it or
not. Well, I heard the Live Seventy-Nine version but not the original. So
the Epoch-Eclipse 3CD set was a great investment for me. The sound quality
and packaging are amazing. And it's made me realize just how important
Calvert was to the band. Besides Silver Machine, I had also never heard
Kerb Crawler or Steppenwolf, or Calvert's version of Death Trap, or Uncle
Sam's On Mars, or.....

I guess 11 albums really isn't all that much when you're talking HW. Thank
goodness for Epoch-Eclipse!
