I was glad to see the Nourse, which was my first encounter with fix-ups,
and for which I've always had a soft spot in my heart.
 
Another example is _Masters of the Vortex_ (a/k/a _The Vortex Blaster_).

The Gnome/Pyramid version, yes.  The original magazine version no.

However, thinking on it further, it may stretch the definition of fix-up
as I don't believe the new material was ever published separately.
