David Byron of Uriah Heep - Session Work Super Soul Sounds LP featuring Avenue Records recordings of Too Busy Thinking About My Baby & others.The Avenue Records Recordings: During the years 1968 - 1971 Byron did some session work for Avenue Records singing lead and backing vocals to earn extra money. Mick Box also played guitar on some tracks as well as did bassist Paul Newton. No official credits are listed so the information on them is speculation and due to lack of verification it's extremely difficult to put together an accurate listing without mistakes or errors. Although David is rumored to have recorded several hundred tracks during this period, time concerns placed on him during that period leads us to believe the total could not exceed more then a few dozen at most. After the success of Look At Yourself they stopped participating in these recording sessions which were cover versions of Top 20 hits and were released on numerous EP's at the time. Several LP's were released with various tracks from these sessions but no official CD has ever been released, so these tracks are extremely rare. Another then unknown singer / musician named Reginald Dwight (later known as Elton John) recorded with Avenue as well. One Byron track, "Its All In The Game" was by mistake included on a CD compilation called "Reg Dwight's Piano Goes Pop" featuring Elton tracks from these sessions.
