For those of you who are Uriah Heep fans, here's a very interesting release: http://www.david-byron.com/

It's the last three songs David Byron recorded before his untimely death. In late 1983 Richard Manners [Blue Mountain Music] asked Richard "Digby" Smith [Rough Diamond, Free, Sammy Hagar, Mott The Hoople] to put together a band and cut some tracks with David.

Including drummer Neil Conteh [Jagger/Bowie], bassist Alan Spenner [Joe Cocker, Roxy Music], guitarist Tim Renwick [Elton John, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd], keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick [Free, Roger Waters, The Who], along with the Chanter Sisters doing backing vocals an excellent group of musicians were assembled.

In February 1984 at Power Plant Studios, London three tracks were recorded. Talk of a entire album was discussed by sadly that never came to be. The tracks are:

1. That Was Only Yesterday
2. Waiting For The Sun
3. Pride And Joy

I have no personal interest or profit from this release (I paid for my copy, just like anyone else) but just want to make people aware \:\)

Why thanks Jeff ! I ordered my copy and it arrived a while back, and I must say the lads of the Carolina Heepster Association did a great job in the (re)mastering. The songs sound superb, and I do recommend everyone to order a copy, if you have the least bit of interest in any of the musicians mentioned, or if you're a Doors completist or whatever. We lost a great talent in David Byron \:\(
