█ It's a disc that locks down an idea conceived and █
█ executed by the least well-regarded (!) Uriah Heep █
█ vocalist John Lawton (also of Lucifer's Friend █
█ fame) plus no-one-you-know Steve Dunning at a Heep █
█ convention. The album, recorded shortly thereafter █
█ on the enthusiastic wings of the live set, is a █
█ mix of Heep from those ahem, dissipated days and █
█ elsewhere originals (including folky Lucifer's █
█ Friend ballad Burning Ships), performed █
█ acoustically or quite full but subtle band, never █
█ heavy. Killer sound quality accompanies the █
█ intimate set, with Lawton proving his mercurial █
█ blues and rock vocal chops, reminding one of the █
█ enduring Mark Farner, Lawton also doing all the █
█ backing vocals for what turns out to be a very █
█ accurate depiction of mellow Heep-ness, something █
█ quite hard to duplicate. █
█ Also on board, is current Heep keyboardist Phil █
█ Lauzon. Perhaps a reevaluation of Lawton's reign █
█ is in order, as this guy can stylize, muscle-in █
█ and belt it out with astonishing ease, perhaps █
█ re-colouring Hensley's view that Lawton was a █
█ mistake, i.e. maybe it was the crappy songs that █
█ made those records so bad. Verdict: versatile, █
█ high fidelity but ultimately modest, casual and █
█ spare, impressive for the vocals and little else, █
█ the rest of the show barely definable as more than █
█ skeleton or blueprint. █
