I started getting into Bowie's music in the mid-80's and had a hard time finding his early albums in CD form. I think there was some kind of label dispute going on. Earl bought me the Sound+Vision 4-disc box set and it contained a German version of "Heroes." This quickly became one of my favorite tracks. I have to admit, however, that I was disappointed when I finally heard the lyrics in English many years later.
