[Heeplist] (no subject)

[Don Malecic]

Hi Stan,
Ya, how can i forget those bands .
Spaceship Superstar! One of my favorites, but, there was also Streetheart,
Chilliwack, Adams  List goes on , so ya it's was pretty crowded field here
and very tough competition with all these bands charting .
 Just wasn't any room for Heep unfortunately, but Heep had some good songs
that could have made radio  play here, I'm thinking Song like Other side of
midnight would be a great radio play song or, something from Abominog ,
Innocent Victim.
