[Heeplist] Illusion

[Shawn Mctopy]

Scott,

I really like *Mick's* solo on *'ILLUSION'* as well. It really fits the
song, and takes the tune to another level.

I like all three of the *Albums* featuring *John Lawton* as vocalist.
However, my favorite of those three albums is - *'INNOCENT VICTIM'*.
The*Remastered w/ Bonus Tracks
* version in the one to have/purchase.

*John Lawton* is a powerful singer. Very talented!

The bonus track - *'MASQUERADE'* is a favorite of mine, from the album.

Take care.

*Shawn -*
