COLD AUTUMN SUNDAY

"Cold Autumn Sunday", the A side to this very good single, is taken from "Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf", Ken's first solo album, originally recorded in 1973 and released on the Bronze label. After a balladesque piano supported beginning, the thing evolves rapidly into a more rocking paced number, propulsed by the solid rythmic base, which, to nobody's surprise, is played by fellow Uriah Heepers Lee Kerslake on Drums, and Gary Thain on bass.

On the B side, Ken resorted to a little trick: even when "Rain" is part of the same album as the previous song, it was already taken from "The Magician's Birthday", Uriah's fifth album (released in November 1972). Anyway, a nice piano/vocal, synth wrapped ballad.
