[Heeplist] Mick Box on BBC Radio 2

[Terje Pedersen]

Thanks for uploading the radio show Iain, that was awesome. Fun to hear Mick talk so warmly about Deep Purple and picking Speed King as a favorite. I always liked Deep Purple "almost" as much as Heep but it always annoyed me how bad the sound is on "In Rock" 
And for those 7yr olds that don’t understand my English "Rick" yes, English isn’t my first language. Surprise surprise.. and that’s all the arguing I want to do with 7 yr old midgets. Think I`l start look for some Heep rarities I can upload on youtube. ;-)

Today Mick Box was featured on Johnnie Walker’s Sounds of the 70’s BBC Radio 2 show.  Mick introduces two of his favourite songs along with a little story about each.  Earlier in the show they played The Easy Road and that is definately the first time I’ve heard that song on the radio.

Radio 2 is the most listened to radio station in the UK with an estimated 15.5 million listeners each week.  This is great promotion for Heep.

Well I managed to capture the show and if you want to listen to it below is a link to download the whole show.  I know it will be on the BBCiplayer soon but for everyone outside the UK this is probably the only way to hear the full show.

The easy road is approximately 52 minutes in and Mick’s slot is approximately 1 hour 28 minutes in.  Here is the link.
