I can't blame this one on brain radio - it just popped up on the U-Tub. Wonderworld wasn't my favorite Uriah Heep album, and I'm sure I am guilty of snatching the tonearm off the vinyl before The Easy Road played for more than two seconds (it being the last song on the album side). Now is the time to gently set the stylus in the groove. Thanks, David Byron and Ken Hensley!

If you've got half an hour to invest, you might take a listen/look at Uriah Heep's Live at Shepperton - '74. Finally a live album where you can hear the drums! David Byron's vocal acrobatics are phenomenal - Freddie Mercury better watch out!! What?!? A singing drummer? I'll just say Gary Thain = bass guitar. Enough. Just listen and watch.
By coincidence, I was on a yachting trip in the Greek Islands in 1995 when I first heard this album, & bought it on my return home.
Played it constantly, then forgot about it.
I’m on holiday in Kefalonia, Greece at this moment!
Gonna dig out the CD when my wife & I get home & give it a spin.
Thanks for the reminder!!
I’ve been listening to this album today as I lie in the sunshine.(Unorthodox Behaviour).
In the past, I’ve played this to numerous people & asked them to guess the drummer.
Most are amazed that it’s the one & only Phil Collins…
I find some of the coolest stuff here - REALLY! Thanks, @Elvis!
Wow! The bass guitar. I normally like the bass guitar to sound like... wellll... a plain, old bass guitar, but this fuzzed bass sounds perfect! But then, there's always Yes and The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus).

I think Mr. Toot just might remind me of a former band member! This is hilarious - thanks for posting.... now deep diving on Ylvis stuff.

You're welcome. That's a cut off their new album. It breaks in about 4 days (they're also gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel on the 27th).I find some of the coolest stuff here - REALLY! Thanks, @Elvis!

That bassist is Ale, the youngest of the 3 sisters.
She's an endorsee with Spector, the company that makes that bass.
Here's a video of her giving a run-down of all the gear she uses, if you're interested...

You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It) was written in 1913 and likely was first recorded by Al Jolson. A little digging turned up that recording in the US Library of Congress archives! Here's Al Jolson from his recording on 4 JUN 1913. FWIW, I like Patsy Cline's version best. Sorry, Al!
