After arguing in the past, these gentlemen have smoked the peace pipe. Something that is openly discussed on this album. By now this collaboration is dead and buried and all that is left is The Return. On this album, on which also Heep’s first bass player Paul Newton plays, we can find thirteen Heep classics that are well performed. John Lawton still has a great voice and the same goes for Ken Hensley who is a great musician as well. Still The Return is not finished because Mick’s guitar sound is lacking and also Lee Kerslake’s essential backing vocals are sadly missed. A good live album but if I had to choose between Heep’s live album “Future Echoes of The Past” and this album, I’d choose Future Echoes. (JHD)     John Lawton Still Payin’ My Dues   A new album by a man who will eternally be labelled as ‘former vocalist of Uriah Heep’. He was David Byron’s successor who was Heep’s first singer. Lawton has a voice which seems to be a cross-over between Ronnie James Dio and David Coverdale and it’s a voice that shines in quality. We are led through twelve songs which are almost all written by Lawton and his band (Try a Little Tenderness is an exception) and it touches the blues and bluesy hardrock. Fine music that is not too hard or too heavy but which has balance all over. (JHD)
