[Heeplist] Weed

[Tapio Minkkinen]

Hi Terje

Ken Hensley has confirmed this many times in interviews over the years. 
First time I think it was in Uriah Heep Appreciation Society magazine 
sometime in mid-90's.

The album was recorded in March 1971 in Germany and it was the idea of 
producer Bodo Albes. He hired Hensley to come up with an album for the 
imaginery band called Weed. The "members" were actually German band 
called Virus. According to Ken himself his vocals were originally meant 
to be just demo vocals which would have been overdubbed byt Virus singer 
but the producer thought they were so good that they were kept as they 
were.
