Pawn Hearts was often played at home when I was a kiddo. I can't really say I know much about them, other than they still tour regularly and I found out Graham Lambkin is a big fan.

YES!!! The best, in my opinion are H To He, The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other, Pawn Hearts, Godbluff and Still Life...... the others are pretty good too, and Peter Hammils solo stuff I like but I haven't heard enough of to really absorb........ I am always skeptical of reunion stuff so I have yet to check out the newer stuff...... fucking love this band so much.

I've only got Pawn Hearts which I do like, but not enough to make me want to dig deeper. And even with that, I really need to be in the mood. 'Lemmings' is a genuine head fuck, I think.

Find a download of their BBC In concert from 1970 (I think), genuine fucking awesomeness...... it's from the same series as the Black Sabbath Live At the Paris theatre 1970 that's such an exceptional view.........

I have only Pawn Hearts recorded on cassette. I just listened it, I haven´t listened it a long time. Yeah, it is good, but I also think it isn´t as great as for example the greatest records from Amon Duul 2, Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull or Wigwam. I also listened very rare prog band Brahman only album, it´s as good as Pawn Hearts.

Vital is such an intense live album.
