 URIAH HEEP ROLLIN' ON AND ON December 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like most fans i the thought of heep without David Byron(RIP) seemed doomed to failure,how wrong we were,probably the last "classic Heep " sounding record til Sea of Light and more recently Wake The Sleeper,trevor bolders bass seemed to give heep a new lease of life john wetton's never seemed to fit in,firefly and rollin 2 classics,well worth seeking this disc out.

Having no great expectations of any Heep album after Magician's Birthday I was really surprised by this one. With the exception of the disappointing title track the songs get better and better as the album progresses, culminating in the atmospheric Rolling On and the up tempo and highly memorable Sympathy. I have been really pleased with this purchase and may be forced to sample later material in the hope of finding a similar gem.
Surprisingly good....... and now sounds even better..! August 2, 2008

This was the first of three studio albums released after the departure of former founder member and vocalist David Byron with the potentially superb John Lawton at the helm joined by the brilliant bassist Trevor Bolder (formerly of David Bowie's Spiders from Mars) replacing John Wetton.
I remember at the time (1977) thinking that Heep were doomed without the charismatic Byron in front and my interest had started to wane after the rather lacking previous album 'High and Mighty' failed to excite me but I bought the album out of loyalty and quite liked it.
Listening to the remastered version today on CD with better hifi than I
had back then, this album stands up very well indeed.
There are some very good songs here, well produced and played and a huge improvement over the previous set. Lawtons vocals are strong and suit the songs well..(arguably better than the back catalogue), Bolders bass lines are much more adventurous than Wettons ever were - almost back to Gary Thain's wandering style here and a good all round performance from the others too. 'Been away too long', 'Do you know', 'Who needs me' and 'Sympathy' are all respectable rockers and my favourite 'Rollin on' almost looks back to 'Demons and Wizards' in style. Very Nice indeed.
The next two Lawton albums however went from bad to worse becoming more and more 'radio friendly' culminating in the awful 'Fallen Angel' by which time the rot had really began to set in.
'Firefly' was the best of the three and certainly worth a look.
