[Heeplist] A 2 review on Amazon

[Bob Winward]

Hi Igor, thank you for pointing out.  :-)  I am the standard bearer for
Uriah Heep Trueness!!

I would give Live in Moscow a 5!  Heep comes back from the dead with a new
vocalist and keyboard player.   Abominog a 4, great record but such a
drastic change in sound and personnel and too many cover tunes..  I wonder
if the magic and wizardry disappeared when Ken Hensley did??!!!  I think so,
and it is my opinion.  During the 70's, I never thought of Heep as Mick's
band, but Ken's band.

I would give both RTS and Different World 4.5's
RTS first new Studio cd with revised lineup and had a lot of rocking
variety.
Different World, does not sound like it belongs in a Heep catalog, but I
think it is a strong POP offering.  Every song on it sounds like a hit
single.  Yes lightweight and poppy, but very well written lyrics and
melodies.

Even a 5 does not give SOL enough credit, but it is the mark of perfection
and Heep's peak (post 70's)
