35 years of Heep...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Ersatzreal
Uriah Heep - Equator
Uriah Heep - Looking Back 1970-2001

The first Uriah Heep album I owned was "The Magician's Birthday", bought in 1972 from Varsity Music on the South Bridge in Edinburgh...

I've recently decided to fill the four disc gap in my Heep studio album collection (there are 20 altogether) and the first of these arrived today from e-bay...

Mid-80's pop rock - very commercial - very un-Heep-like...

On telly, "CSI" and Dara O'Briain on "Tough Gig" performing to people who dress up like characters from "Lord of the Rings" and run about in the forest hitting each other with plastic swords - even weirder than last week's religious nut audience to which Frank Skinner had to play...

Entertaining though...

Highlight of the Day : CSI

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
