LUCAS: Mike Keneallys HAT album is very much in the Frank Zappa vein and it is almost impossible to get hold of( It has been sold out and the record company have not made any new copies for 2 years now ) Kevin Gilbert plays a very little part on HAT, so if you´re a fan of Gilbert, don´t bother to get a copy.

 Good, hard-rockin' list, Starship! I'm also a (classic) Heep fan -- did they have their original vocalist on that album? Is it mostly older material

Peter, Peter,
I would never, repeat never, leave home without my, Garten trained, badger pelt hair pieces. Understand, Sir, that badger pelts are one of the best protections against UV rays. Since they are Garten trained, they can handle sweat in any disco. They're water-proof!!! Also, they can be shoved into the eager jaws of any hungry Great White, just ask Jack Russell (obscure reference).

Peter,
I suspect ST means Live '73, which did indeed feature the late, great David Byron. He died in 1985 having parted company with Uriah Heep some years previously.

No, it's not their 'original' singer, the album must be called 'Spellbinder' and was recorded in cologne/germany as far as I know...Because I sold 'Spellbinder' on eBay and it was from 93 I think...This album was bad because of the singer, I also sold 'Sea of Light'...I don't like the newer Stuff, but the 'old' one is awesome...I really like 'Salisbury' and all other 'early' albums. Peter, maybe I could smuggle them to my island and bring them with me wehen I'm on my way to bring you 'Physical Graffitty'

it's great to see someone mention "Hope"! It's one of the very greatest records I've heard.
Anyway, the list:
Spastic Ink - Ink Complete
Planet X - Moonbabies
King Crimson - Absent Lovers
Klaatu - Hope
Transatlantic - bridge Across Forever
Genesis - The Lamb
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Spock's Beard - Snow
A.C.T. - Last Epic
Deep Purple - In Rock
Tindersticks - Tindersticks
Bruce Springsteen (yay) - Born To Run
whenever I get bored (which I am likely to get!!) I'll just try to count the time signatures on the Spastic Ink and Planet X discs...that'll keep me busy for quite some while!
I guess I got some of history's greatest records in there...40 records, my bass, and I could actually manage to live on that island for quite a while!!

Finally! someone had the wisdom to include one of Transatlantic's albums! I admit I had passed them up for other albums, but seeing as there's not much else on this sandy beach, I regret turning down Bridge Across Forever (as well as hundreds of other cd's)...

Peter, their original vocalist David Byronis dead. He bit the dust in a hotel room a couple of years after being kicked out of the band and was replaced by ex-Lucifer's Friend singer John Lawton.

Vibrationbaby.
Sorry to be pedantic, Uriah Heep's a band which mean a lot to me (as you might guess!). David Byron actually died in his own home in Maidenhead near London, where he lived alone. He left Uriah Heep in 1976, some 9 years before his death, and went on to record with Rough Diamond and the Byron Band, as well as a couple of solo albums. I've just finished reading Jeff Perkins excellent biography of Byron "Born to Perform", an essential read for all classic Heep fans.

Right, I won't tell anybody!
You might tell me where the desert is on Gotland, though! 
Not that I've been there since I was 2 or 3, but isn't Öland more of a desert island? I know ornitologists love that island because of those sand banks which emerges out of the water sometimes, the birds use to flock on those spots.
