Peter Goalby Interview: Uriah Heep Memories and a Final Lost Album

Author: Phil Aston February 1, 2026 Duration: 57:52

I’m More Famous Now Than When I Was Famous” — Peter Goalby’s Incredible ReturnI’m delighted to welcome back Peter Goalby — the voice many of you will remember from Uriah Heep, plus Trapeze and more.In this interview we dive into Peter’s astonishing “lost DAT tape” album Don’t Think This Is Over — recorded after he left Heep, then believed gone forever until a poorly-labelled tape resurfaced 34 years later. Even better, Mick Box and John Sinclair added new overdubs in 2025, and Peter personally oversaw the whole release from transfer to mastering to artwork.We talk songwriting, why Peter writes from the chorus/title backwards, what makes a Peter Goalby chorus work, the story behind “The Sound of a Nation”, how “I Don’t Want to Fight” was reinvented, and why Peter says he’s more famous now than when he was famous.If you love heartfelt, feel-good melodic rock with huge choruses — and you’ve got a soft spot for the Peter Goalby era of Uriah Heep — this one’s for you.Become a Patron (free trial -cancel anytime)https://www.patreon.com/nowspinningNow Spinning Magazine Storehttps://burningshed.com/store/now-spinning-magazineVisit the Now Spinning Magazine Merch Shophttps://nowspinningmagazine.co.uk/
