[Heeplist] Heeplist] Celebration released on vinyl

[Igor Shveitser]

 Kevin,
The fact John sang to the already made instrumental tracks, which I am fully aware of, doesn't mean the sketches were made long before he joined the band. I suppose, mostly those ideas emerged after Byron's departure - and that explains to me such a change in the mood and compositional structure. Also, I believe, they didn't have enough material of their own which helps understanding how the prolific songwriter ended up needing help from some unknown Mr.Williams. As for Ken's words 'bout writing for David - this is one of his favorite statements of the latest years and I do not take it very seriously, relying more on what I hear with my ears. They tell me, on Firefly we have a great collection of songs, both played and sung exceptionally well, but they are much further from what I call Uriah Heep than Look At Yourself from High And Mighty, althought between those two there is also, as you justly pointed, a significant difference.
Cheers, Igor

>'My' version comes from John Lawton saying that the songs were done when he joined, he just had to add vocals, and Ken saying it himself somewhere, that he was still writing for David's voice. Yeah, i guess you can look at them as different bands, if you want, but then again you could say the band that made Look At Yourself was not the same band as the one that made High & Mighty!
