Advantages:

...Beautiful , soft album from Uriah Heep, all written by Ken Hensley (only two songs cowritten by Wetton) .The last Heep album With Byron. Here one can see a couple of weaker tracks ,but there are many beautiful songs .”One way to another”- excellent rock song featuring John Wetton on vocal (and beautiful Ken vocal in the middle of the song ). ”Weep in silence “- It is the best ballad in music world for ever ,and Byron’s vocal here is one of his best –so pure ,clear like a stream.”Misty Eyes”- one more beautiful song here .”Midnight”-wonderful ballad ,very melodic. “Footprints in the snow”- one of the best song on that album .And beautiful “Confession”- pretty ballad ,and it is really look like David’s farewell song...

Over ten nights, Heep played to 180,000 Russians! (for more details, read the reissue liner notes). I remember when I first found this on cassette and listened in the car for the first time.
