General Notes
This is a two cd set of demos (hence a lower standard of sound quality) that mainly features the vocals from Uriah Heep's Bernie Shaw era's of Escape and Praying Mantis. The packaging on this one is really nice and it contains a family tree of the band written out by Tino Troy himself.
