Although David Byron’s musical career originated in mid-1960s London, the rock singer born
David Garrick, will always be most closely associated with Uriah Heep. Fronting Uriah Heep
for ten classic albums, from their ..Very ’Eavy ...Very ’Umble (1970) debut until High
And Mighty (1976), Byron released his first solo LP in 1975 with Take No Prisoners.

In 1981 David Byron joined forces with Robin George to form The Byron Band. With Robin
George on guitars (while also adding bass guitar on ‘Little By Little’), Mel Collins on
saxophone, Bob Jackson on keyboards, Roger Flavelle on bass, John Shearer on drums
and The Powder Puffs adding backing vocals, The Byron Band released ‘On The


Rocks (CD1), their debut for Creole Records, in 1981. Featuring eight tracks, including the
single ‘Rebecca’, this collection also includes the non-album single ‘Every Inch Of The
Way’, ‘Routine’, the B-Side of ‘Every Inch Of The Way’, and ‘Tired Eyes’, the B-side of
‘Rebecca’.

CD2 features 13 tracks of writing, home demos in 1982, including ‘She Was Good’, ‘Fool For
A Pretty Face’ and ‘My Kind Of Lady’.


CD3 starts with a rehearsal recording from 1981, including ‘How Do You Sleep?’, ‘Safety In
Numbers’ and ‘I Need Love’, all written by David Byron and Robin George. The rehearsal
recording is followed by a rare live show, recorded in Liverpool in 1980. The Liverpool show
features ‘Bad Girl’, ‘Start Believing’, ‘How Do You Sleep?’, ‘Piece Of My Love’ from the “On
The Rocks” album, fan-pleasing covers of Uriah Heep classics ‘July Morning’ and ‘Sweet
Lorraine’, and finishes off with Chuck Berry’s ‘Roll Over Beethoven’. CD3 concludes with
‘AngelSong’, a lighter track by Robin George recorded in 1985 featuring Charlie Morgan on
drums and Pino Palladino on bass, included as a tribute to David Byron.


Byron sadly passed away at the age of 38 at his Berkshire home in 1985.
