An impressive second effort

"Salisbury is just the second album from this legendary band and is a staggering improvement over the first. The collection of songs is dominated by the sixteen-minute title track, a monumental achievement in progressive rock which looks more and more impressive with the passage of the years, and "Lady in Black" the memorable acoustic singalong ballad that went on to become one of the bands most well-known and requested songs. A fine album whose only real drawback may be that with only six songs (seven in the remaster) it leaves Heep fans wanting more. The scary thing is that the band had yet to really hit their stride."
Just a quick note

"simon the bullet freak was on the original--in america, at least. that wouldn't make it a bonus track, but it sure as hell is an interesting infectious song!"
