Moore. Rare 12-inch 'Bye & Bye' featured Moore's wistful wish for the romance of travel, his heart-broken 'Through And Through' and an unusual reading of Dylan's 'Only A Hobo,' plus Pook's contemplative 'I'm Ready To Leave.' Airplay was considerable, but a delivery strike rendered the release unjustly obscure; this long overdue reissue ably emphasizes the band's musical excellence and their unique take on folk-rock.

 

TRACKLIST:
A1 Bye And Bye
A2 Through Time
B1 Only A Hobo
B2 I'm Ready To Leave

]]> Twice as nice & Half the price (2LP) https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/twice-as-nice-half-the-price-2lp/ Tue, 14 Jan 2025 23:00:00 +0000 https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/twice-as-nice-half-the-price-2lp/ Formed in suburban Maidenhead by singer Tony Pook, guitarist/pianist Roy Apps and guitarist Robert Collins, Heron solidified when Collins was replaced by uitarist/mandolin player GT Moore. After a debut album recorded at the Pook family farm, specially priced double LP Twice As Nice And Half The Price achieved a fuller sound with guitarist Mike Cooper, bassist Mike Finesilver, drummer Terry Gittins and guitarist Willie Boazman. The epic set sounds absolutely brilliant from start to finish, with strong vocal harmonies, intricate guitar interplay and excellent musical communication. Arguably Heron at their absolute best!
