- Below you will find a direct link to Uriah Heep's chart positions in Norway,
including singles, over the years. As you will see the last time on the
charts was back in '95 where they actually climbed to number 9 after heavy
promotion on TV. Thanks to Egil "Heepaholic" Bokn for the info:

- Bernie Shaw's works with guitar player Dale Collins is progressing... Dale
(with bass player Neil) is now recording the bass and ax tracks for "Sad Song"
and re-mixing it. Dale originaly wrote the lick on guitar, then it got
swithed to piano for the recording. Now they "dusted" the piano and string
section and replaced it with a sweet accoustic part, a rhythm ax track, and he
is just about to do the solo track for it. Bernie left him 2 other songs
before he left last time out, and as soon as he is finished with this one he'll
mix at least 2 of them. More at: http://www.mp3.com/collinsshaw

- Besides that, Bernie is working hard with the band Mortice. You can listen
to 7 songs already at http://www.mp3.com/mortice (the counter already registers
10,000 plays to date!)

- On of the webmasters at Uriah-Heep.com, Dave White, recorded a "Heep Tribute
song" called "Heepheads" together with Bob Dreher, Mike "Muzzy" Fedysky and
Graham Hulme. You can watch the video and hear the song here:
http://www.heepheads.com/ (more songs also available). Here's what Mick Box
has to say about the hommage: "I have my new computer and I have heard the song
and seen the video. Boy I am very 'Umble indeed. That is so flattering and
thank you very much. I enjoyed them both immensely. Nice little lick on the
end solo mate. Diminished, demented and delightful (Editor's Note: Mick is
referring to Bob's guitar on the second solo; but please pay also attention to
Dave's wah-wah guitar on the first solo!). Well done and many thanks to you
all. 'Appy Days, Mick, Uriah Heep"
