[Heeplist] Outsider

[Dave Crookham]

I wouldn't say the Goalby albums have faded away. Other than among the 
hardcore fans like on this list, it's probably the only Heep music other the 
Byron years that the more casual music fan has possibly every heard of 
because that's the last time they every got any air play on radio.

Interesting review, Is Anybody Going To Help Me is one of the songs I like 
best, but that might be the fact I've been asking that question myself for 
the last 3 years. Looking At You and Can't Take That Away, and Say Goodbye 
are great tracks, in a lot of ways I really like this album, but at times it 
sounds a little bit to pop. As always it's the test of time that decides how 
good it is, will it stand up like the Byron era albums or will it fade like 
the Goalby era albums.?? DS
