Holy crap! That is an exceptionally unique album cover! It’s one of Hipgnosis’ earliest works I think. From that to Wish You Were Here in six years is an impressive learning curve. The album itself is fucking awful. I gave it a listen once or twice because the singer might be the only person from Slough to have been signed to Motown. That’s some hometown (or near enough) pride.

I only heard of Toe Fat because they shared a bill with Derek And The Dominos.

In terms of bands with:
a) shitty names, and b) personnel comprised of lower-rung rockers most notable for being in other bands
I think Toe Fat may be second only to Tandoori Cassette (made up from ex-members of Be Bop Deluxe, Jethro Tull and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band).

Fuck you. Love the "lower-rung" rockers Be Bop Deluxe, Tull and the SAHB.

Was Toe Fat the Asian henchman in a Connery or Moore James Bond film?

It evokes something with me (the UK version). I don't think it's that bad.

Hope Myke is OK, Hensley did a brief stint in Blackfoot as well.

I won't even try to stick up for Uriah Heep; every criticism about them is mostly true although we all have our guilty pleasures.
I will say that Ken Hensley was always known as one of the nicer guys in rock music. He was articulate, self deprecating, and thoughtful. He was a better musician than the bands he was in usually warranted, was friendly to his fans, and stayed clean after getting off drugs in the 80's. God fearing man too.
His exit pretty much finishes off the 'classic' 1972-1974 Heep lineup except for Mick Box, the last survivor, who is still out there with Uriah Heep (a completely different band now, although its three core members have been together for 34 years, and the band has never stopped making albums). He's kind of a nice guy too, actually. Lee Kerslake died a few months back; I don't think he was mentioned here. Come to think of it, he was another nice guy. I guess David Byron was the real dick in the band.
