5 stars This is a superb compilation of their only two historical albums (I make a distinction with the albums recorded as Lovecraft - which I never heard) and it might just be the only disc you will find easily. An absolutely essential listening for progheads wishing to find out Prog's genesis and how shamefully some bands are so forgotten/ignored where some others are still in full light. As you will read in my separate reviews for the albums, HP L was one of the most groundbreaking groups and had so much talent, that it is astounding how so few people know of them. Almost as gifted as Jefferson Airplane (but maybe lacking a Grace Slick), they had an uncanny skill to make songs and lyrics to match that could easily have been sung by Raconteur-Troubadours.

Bonus tracks including a non-album single and two alternate takes are very worthy additions. A muyst-have for every self-respecting proghead.
