[Heeplist] New Boston cd out today

[Bob Winward]

Corrrect, in my American opinion only, the debut is one of the greatest lps
of alltime, and definitely the greatest debut of any band.   More than a
feeling is right up there with Carry on My Winward Son by Kansas as top
songs of all time.

And then there is the next level up: Uriah Heep!!!!!!!
