CD Reviews

Fool's 'Gold'

"Since there is very little description of this collection on Amazon, I thought I was purchasing a comprehensive 'anthology' of the band. I've always loved the early stuff (which is fairly represented here) and at a good price, I thought I was getting a deal. Wrong!!

This collection is recorded by whatever remains of the band. There are no personnel listings in the booklet. It only says that this 'retrospective' was 'especially recorded by the longest line-up of the band...'. Whatever that means. I think I recognize Mick Box in the pictures included in the booklet, but I could be wrong. For all I know, it was recorded by the longest line-up of the touring roadies.

Please people, beware, this is not the Uriah Heep of yore. This is but a chintzy facsimile. The song recreations are listless, the production is limp. I swear, it is as if whatever remains of this band got together in someone's basement and did a really fast run through of the band's classic songs in hopes of cashing in. Hopefully, I was the only dupe.

Save your money!!"
