Paul if you are featuring Ken Hensley, you should include Weed self titled from 1971.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll definitely have a listen to Ken Hensley's Weed album later on today and feature a track from it here. It's just in the Nick of time too, as I can now include the Weed album in chronological order. I noticed it's listed amongst Ken Hensley's albums here on PA as well as Head Machine's 1970 "Orgasm" album. Thumbs Up

doesnt get much better than this.

bird of prey is amazing.

It's time to celebrate the music of the Very 'eavy, Very 'umble Ken Hensley & Uriah Heep. Ken was the driving powerhouse force behind Uriah Heep between 1970 and 1980, featuring on no less than thirteen studio albums. Who can forget the fiery vision of the tank rolling across Salisbury Plain on their second album cover, or the reflective silver third album cover where you could quite literally Look At Yourself in the mirror. Ken Hensley has always been one of the Demons and Wizards of heavy keyboard prog, and his song-writing skills were put to full use with the concept album, The Magician's Birthday, featuring fantasy cover artwork by Roger Dean. Ken is a Free Spirit who's always Eager to Please his devoted fans, and he relished the Sweet Freedom to pursue his dream in the magical Wonderworld of prog. In 1973, it was a Return to Fantasy for Ken's first solo outing, Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf, a High and Mighty album of hard and heavy prog which burned briefly but brightly like a Firefly. All was not well in the Uriah Heep camp though with singer David Byron - the Innocent Victim of alcohol abuse - being replaced by John Lawton. The three albums with John Lawton From Time to Time offered a Glimpse of Glory, but no one could quite match the epic soaring vocals of Fallen Angel David Byron. Finally, Ken Hensley left Uriah Heep behind in 1980, embarking on a new series of Conquests in his burgeoning solo career.
