NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, January 18, 2000
This review is from: Best of Uriah Heep Part 2 (Audio CD)
Unless you're a fan of `The Mick Box Band,' there's no reason for this CD to exist. Aside from a few tracks from Firefly (why fade out the last few seconds of "Wise Man" and call it a `single edit'?) and "Free `n Easy," there's nothing for the early fan at all. Sure, there are the live versions of "Easy Livin'" and "Suicidal Man" (the last known recordings with Hensley in the band), but the sound quality on these tracks is awful, and the performance (especially the vocals) is even worse. The only other redeeming factor is a cover of the Argent classic, "Hold Your Head Up." True to the original version overall, Box turns in some respectable guitar work on the cut. Skip this one unless you want to see how the band deteriorated into what it is now.

An absolute smasher !, July 31, 1999

The powerful vocals of Byron and Hensley are what this album is all about.....'Come back to me' should rate as one of the most soulful rock ballads of all time. 'Free me' and 'Easy livin' give the band religious status. A pity that this talented group didn't quite live up to expectations
