[Heeplist] Uriah Heep Street Team!

[Terje Pedersen]

I saw a documentary about the Cern research facility recently, it was quite
interesting. And even more so when they were filming from a conference there
and the audience was all professors and researchers dressed in suit and
tie..except one guy with long hair sitting in the middle of the room wearing
a Heep shirt.. lol was so funny..

Hey,

Your absulutley right Rick. I work at a lot of public events and I always
have one of my 6 Heep T shirts on. Proud to wear it !

Nice find on that Byron video Kirk.

Stan, Ya I would like to know how sales are going on the album. I read
through all the music writers reviews, which were all

positive, but no indication on sales, it will take a little time, too early
for the stats. I know I went to our local record store and asked them about
Outsider and the fellow said it wasn't even on order yet .
I will have to go in and harass them about it again Don
