From Charlotte Evans (Heep's sound engineer): "Just in case anyone has not checked the live dates page... We play tomorrow (N.E.: today!) a festival in Granada, Spain. We only found out yesterday that we are replacing Saxon who are a no show. The festival is pretty much all Dark Metal so Mick has told me that our 1 hour time slot will be the "faster stuff"! We will be scheduled for a stage time of approx 20.40pm so if anyone is in southern Spain, come and see us and cheer the lads on!!! BTW travel directions are on the UH live dates page! Al-riiiightyyy!!

- From melodic rock.com: "The Byron Band - Lost And Found - David Byron is one of the legendary voices of hard rock, every bit the rock star and front man that Plant, Gillan and his other contemporaries were. His work with the Uriah Heep stands up as some of the best and most important hard rock of the period. That his life was cut so short is ultimately one of rock's greatest tragedies. This 2 CD set collates studio, demo and live recordings from his first post Uriah Heep project. Featuring a young Robin George on guitar, this release belongs in the collection of any fan of Uriah Heep, Robin George or classic seventies rock in general. CD1: (Demos - London '82) Learn The Dance / I Need Love / Fool For A Pretty Face / Safety In Numbers / Bad Girl / One Minute More / Bad Girl (Live Demo) / Fool For A Pretty Face / She Was A Dream / She Got Pride / Untitled Melody / Learn The Dance. CD 2: (Rehearsal '81) How Do You Sleep? / Safety In Numbers / I Need Love / Piece Of My Love / Goodnight Blues / Last Chance Jam (Live Liverpool '80) / Bad Girl / Start Believing / July Morning / How Do You Sleep? / Sweet Lorraine / Piece Of My Love / Liverpool Blues / Roll Over Beethoven / Angelsong.
