[Heeplist] (no subject)

[Martin Turk]

Yeah, I dig that Don, I too believe in Heep being one, but thanks to you I've just listened to 'Eager To Please' again after many years and although it's a solo album by Ken it is essentially Uriah Heep in gentle mode to my ears. After all, didn't the mighty Heep play some beautiful ballads? This just seems to be an extension - a surplus if you like - of that to me. (And ohhh, I just love that 'House On The Hill'). If there is any criticism at all from me about solo albums, it's this: I would have loved to have had a vinyl of Mick Box's solos. Waaaaahhhaaaaaaahaaaa!!! 

Peace and love, M x
