[Heeplist] Very'Eavy Very'Umble

When I became an officer in 1970, I went voluntarily indefinite which meant that I could choose a location for 2 years and the 3rd year I would go to Viet Nam. I choose Fort Bragg, so I could be close to my parents and family. My father was not doing that well. I got out of the Army in 1972 and he died in 1973. In 1972, the Army started rifting officers. I signed and didn't have to go to Nam. I did have friends die there.

> Awesome story. I had heard of Heep during my High School years, 1970-1974. Heard some songs but was not the fan I am today. Then in 1974 while in Ohio for college, the guy in the room next to me needed money for a date that Saturday evening. He said I am selling am album but he did not say what it was.  He may have known my previous comments about the Demons and Wizards cover. So I heard this music coming from his room. Beautiful harmonies, haunting background vocals, swirling keyboards, thunderous drums/ bass and searing guitar   work. As son as I heard Circle of Hands I ran over and gave him $3. Best $3 I ever spent!!!!  My next listen and purchase was Sweet Freedom.

>> Just listened to Heep's first album. This album has special meaning to me. In 1970, I was stationed at Fort Bragg as a 2nd Lieutenant. Sometimes on the weekends we would return to my home town of Hamlet, NC. On one of these occasions, my next door neighbor brought over this strange looking album by a group called Uriah Heep.  We listened to it over and over. I was so impressed that I could hear and understand all the words on the album.
