^ I have the first eight Uriah Heep albums on CD, but I would swap all of them in a heartbeat for the eight pre-Uriah Heep albums featured here.

I have the fitst 9 Heep on original vinyl (and first 5 on cd)...only bought Return and High and Mighty because Wetton was on them. Never heard any of the later ones. I would buy the Brit cover of the very first if it showed up in a local shop but I have the worm cover US version of course.

Toe Fat Too is well-worth getting and sounds just as good as the first album. It was thanks to your earlier post that I discovered these awesome pre-Uriah Heep albums, all of which sound better than any Uriah Heep album recorded after Ken Hensley left the band, although that's probably no great recommendation. ![]() Sweet Morning Light |

I'd like to find a used vinyl of that 2nd Toe Fat....found the first in a little record/comic shop in Valparaiso ,Indiana about 6 years ago.

![]() Don't be put off by the banjo player at the beginning. It's not George Formby, it's Ken Hensley.

Used to have most of their 70’s releases, but whittled it down to my favourites.
The Magician’s Birthday forever. Rain being the weak track for me, but the rest more than makes up for that one. |

I only have The Gods "Genesis" album on CD out of the seven pre-Uriah Heep albums listed above, but now I've found the YouTube playlists, I can look forward to listening to all seven albums and then over-rating them, as per usual.

I listened to both Head and Weed....not bad ,typical proto prog for that time......I have the Gods -Genesis cd...with 4 bonus tracks and I will eventually get To Samuel a Son on cd. Some trivia info...originally The Gods were Mick Taylor, Hensley, John Glascock(Tull later) and Brian Glascock..then Taylor quit and Hensley reformed the band with Newton, Kerslake, and Konas..,then Greg Lake joined and ready to record some muisc...Lake left to form Crimson. They did 2 lp's and two singles(these are the 4 tracks on the cd reissue) Then they became Toe Fat...etc..backing Cliff Bennett.,,,before Hensley, Newton did Heep.

Head Machine were The Gods under a different name, and if you like Heavy Prog, then I'm pretty sure Weed will grow on you, just as it did with me after hearing the album again yesterday.

The Heep.....everything up through Firefly was decent..after that not so much. The debut is still my favorite though the next 4 are all good.
I have The Gods on cd ..never heard of 'Head Machine' nor 'Weed'.....I have an original vinyl of the first 'Toe Fat '. Still looking for a good used copy of the second...though Hensley is not on that one. Head Machine on original label goes for big bucks these days $300-1,000...incredible what people want for these old things. You can get a reissue on cd and vinyl for $30. Same with 'Weed'... big money on first vinyls...but they are out there on cd and reissue.

I'm listening to Weed's album right now and it's really growing on me.
