4.2. Uriah Heep - Name of the Game (1976) out take previously unreleased

Since 1996 the remastered reissues of Uriah Heep started with quite awesome Bonus Tracks that comfortably fill up another two Lp of that time!!! So in 1997 I discoverd the ’’Name Of The Game’’, a first line song, which strangely didn’t find a place on 1976’s ’’High And Mighty’’ and remained a Demo forgotten for 20 long years in some studio drawer, but fortunately almost complete! Since then I’ve been stuck with this song. I loved it from the first note and I rank it on the level of a ’’Sunrise’’. It is perhaps Ken’s brilliant and discreet for a women lyrics that clearly state that in his life only music comes first. It is perhaps Dave’s crystalline voice that with unparalleled theatricality, invites you to sing with him something that he has literally lived and lives. Finally, maybe it’s Mick’s weeping and shimmering guitar, which explores the depths of my soul and gives me the impulse to wanna continue live.... Her
