It is interesting that they chose a friend of Dickens for their moniker, as the character of Uriah Heep comes from the Dickens novel David Copperfield. They took their name from a London author, and associate of Charles Dickens, Captain Frederick Marryat. Deep Purple had just scored with “Woman From Tokyo,“ and Uriah Heep with the great “Stealin.“ Even Iron Butterfly were still in the game, with the underrated Scorching Beauty LP.Įnter Scotland’s Captain Marryat. The heavy organ and guitar sound was all the rage. Bands such as Lucifer’s Friend, Beggars Opera, and Wishbone Ash were all in their heyday. *John Beck - Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Sitar, Tambourineġ965-66 The Leaves.Are Happening!

Lisa, Listen To Me ( Clayton Thomas) - 2:41Ĥ. A mini gem of a record that will reward patient listeners.Ģ. No beads or flowers for these guys, Morgen is straight up brooding hard rock psych. Steve Morgen’s sexually charged lyrics and over the top vocals will irritate some listeners but that’s really a minor complaint as most of Morgen is full of great fuzz guitar solos and solid songs. This 5 minute song is nearly ruined by a two and a half minute drum solo. There are other great cuts to be found on Morgen, like the stealth rocker “Purple” and the freaky fuzz corker ”Of Dreams.” “Eternity In Between,” probably influenced by the Who, is another excellent track that begins with ringing guitars and crashing drums. Certainly a unique mixture of acid garage and hard rock, “Welcome To The Void” is essential listening. The album’s best known track is the classic “Welcome To The Void.” 40+ years later this cut’s over the top acid guitar work and pounding drums still shred the best of speakers. In 1969, record label Probe (ABC) released the group’s sole offering. They were fronted by guitarist/vocalist/wild man Steve Morgen but also included drummer Bob Maiman and guitarists Barry Stock and Rennie Genossa. Morgen was a hard rock/psych band that hailed from Long Island, NY.
