VIRUS-THOUGHTS-1971-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-PILZ-20-21102-9. For musicians "Virus" 1971 was eventful. Almost immediately after the release of "Revelation" some of them were invited as accompanists Ken Hensley, which is in between "Salisbury" and "Look At Yourself" came to Germany to make another commercial project like "Machine Head". But apparently, the cooperation with the Englishman did not go to the group benefit, as after a couple of months of the original structure remained only Jörg-Dieter Krahe and Wolfgang Rieke. In connection with these events the band lost original quite an original sound and the band has played more straight-ahead hard rock. The musicians, who had gone to Hensley in "Weed", very soon regretted it. Ken after's self-titled album back in England, and not having gone on tour with young and hungry to glory by the Germans. And if "Uriah Heep" was prepared for a happy life (at least for the next 10 years), here's the musicians from "Virus" to realize their full potential and failed.
