• Heads Hands & Feet – Single LP with Insert, including CD with Original 17 track US version

It took British band Heads, Hands & Feet just one gig to land what was at the time the biggest record advance ever offered by the US record industry to a UK band – a massive half-million dollars up front! But this was not just one potentially hip new band, but a collection of seasoned pros who knew their way around a studio.

Consisting of guitar virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Albert Lee, bassman Chas Hodges, drummer Pete Gavin, guitarist Ray Smith, vocalist Tony Colton and keyboard player Mike O’Neill, their debut album, featured here as the original UK album release of Heads Hands & Feet from 1971 and includes a CD version of the Original 17 track U.S version. This is a must have for any collector who wants both releases in one place.

Although the band lasted for two more albums, the group proved to be more a staging post for its members who all went on to various degrees of success except for Pete Gavin who took a job in the construction industry in Salem, Ohio! But as Tony Colton opined “Looking back, we were on hell of a band and on a good night we could blow anybody off stage”.
