PETE GOALBY
1989
We were spending so much time on the road though that I felt there was no time to do anything. I felt there wasn't enough time spent preparing on the new record (Equator).
...I bumped into Gary Moore while in Hamburg and he said I sounded terrible, asking if I'd lost my voice. I said no but we'd just played sixteen dates back to back. He told me I should sack my manager!
...I loved and believed in Uriah Heep but it kicked the s*** out of me in the end.

CBS just did a terrible job getting it (Equator) into the shops. We were going out and
playing, doing really good business but you couldn't buy the bloody record!
...John (Sinclair) supplied his fair share of laughs for the band, though. I remember a time
in Victoria, Canada, when after we'd been out drinking we returned to our room and he
stuck his contact lenses in a glass of water next to his bed. He wakes up in the morning
with a mouth like Ghandi's flip-flop, drinks the glass of water and swallows the lenses!
I was woken up by the cry of 'Oh, f***!' And he's as blind as a bat without them, I tell
you.
...It's hard getting the right people and it's very draining too, but if you believe in
something you work at it.

We toured everywhere in the USA, Canada, Germany, Israel, India, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Australia and New Zealand, and we were so disappointed at the promotion we received from
the record company that by the end of that long touring year, Pete and John decided to
leave the band and concentrate on songwriting. I could quite understand them as it is
disheartening when you work that hard on a product in both the recording adn the touring
of it and nobody has it in the shops or indeed even heard of it.
