Mind Exploding

Digitally remastered edition of this 1976 album originally released on the collectable Vertigo label in Europe. Mind Exploding was the fifth album from the legendary German rock band, then fronted by British singer John Lawton. Released just before Lawton left to join Uriah Heep (he would later return to Lucifer's Friend in 1981). The seven tracks take a hard rock direction (in similar style to Uriah Heep. This album has been compared by critics to the Firefly album, and is Heep fans' best introduction to Lucifer's Friend). Highlights include the 8-minute closer, 'Yesterdays Ideals', and the uninhibited rocker 'Blind Boy', with it's memorable call-and-response chorus.
