PETER GOALBY, former URIAH HEEP and TRAPEZE singer, has announced his 3rd solo album of ‘new’ previously unreleased songs written and recorded after he left Heep. Don’t Think This Is Over features 9 songs, as well as a few former bandmates guesting. Just to be clear, over the last few months Peter let out a few of these songs on Youtube, but these songs have all been worked on for this release, withoverdubs and solos added, making them more than just the demos you might have heard or would think. It is safe to that if you liked Peter’s Easy With The Heartaches or I Will Come Runnin’ – you will definitely enjoy this! Artwork was done (as part of a series) by Michael Inns. Please read to the bottom, as Peter has more news to share. *Ordering link below!

“Hello everyone, great news, I am one happy bunny. I would like to tell you all about my new Album to be released December 5^th 2025. Title is DONT THINK THIS IS OVER . (on Cherry Red) Songs written and recorded after I left Heep. We have spent the last few weeks overdubbing and adding some more to the tracks. We have used the same winning formula of Paul Hodson and Eddy Morton.  I have also had some help from special guests. I know you will be excited when I tell you who they are lets just say old friends for now. This time no co-writes all Goalby tunes which I hope you are going to love .”

Peter has also given his insight and some recall into the tracks featured on the new album –

I’ll Be The One

I don’t remember to much about this other than I was thinking Bryan Adams. I wanted to write it in his style .  ? Lots of guitars and a good guitar theme.

Don’t Think This Is Over

Yes you guessed it Foreigner. Loved it they were such a great influence on all of us British Bands…Great Band .The Singer Sounds a bit like me LOL LOL

The Sound Of A Nation

Well, where did that come from my god. Lyrics perfect for someone to record today. I often wonder where the words came from. Sometimes they just came out from nowhere I just sang them. I sent it to my dear friend  Mick Box . He loved it so much he asked if he could play on it . No sooner said than done Mick thank you . If I had any money I would pay you lots great Solo!

Another Paper Moon

Did I write such a song? I always loved the Title Paper Moon it’s an old song from a movie of the same name, as is Poor Little Rich Girl . So I thought I will write Another Paper Moon LOL .  I sent it to John Parr a couple of months ago, he said he filled up and got goose bumps. (Thank you my dear friend John). We wrote 3 songs together for his Man With A Vision Album back in the day. I also sent it to Mick Box. He said he never realized I had that other voice and could sing like that. Again thank you Micky Box X.

It’s Just My Heart Breakin‘

Well no prizes here . Only 2 words – Tina Turner  LOL. “If you hear the Thunder as you walk away Don’t worry darling , Every Thing Is OK . Its Just My Heart Breakin’ !!!!!!”  Am I mad or can you hear her singing it  ??

Show Some Emotion

I love the emotion of the song . The 2 part harmony I do . I imagine this song as a Rock Duet Boy Girl .  Leather Jackets all the way .

Heart What Heart

I wanted to write a song that Dusty Sprinfield would sing . I just love Dusty (waving her arms about LOL ) I think I captured the 60s vibe. Can you dance to it? Yes you can Mini Skirts everywhere . I can see her LOL.

Fallin’ Apart

I was so proud of this song. I have a Diamond Disc on my wall from 80.000 sales in  Norway. The band Smokie recorded it on an album. I gained a couple more Discs when I was in Heep.

I Don’t Wanna Fight

Well , How long have you got. One of my favorite compositions it really is. I did a great demo of this at the time which got lost. This song got me a record deal with RAK records . We recorded it . Micky Most Produced it and lost the magic of the song.  I have not played it for many years although I love the song, the arrangement was pretty awful. My Dear friend John Sinclair also loves the song . Recently John did a brand new arrangement for me, A complete new backing-track with a modern vibe WOW! what a difference. We put the original vocal on the new track. I got my dear friend Pete Kent (who I have known since he was 8 years old) to do the guitars and a great solo on the track. I think the song now has legs and I am convinced we will get a cover by one of today’s artists. Fingers Crossed!

I hope this has let you in to my writing world and that you will enjoy the Album.

AND there is more to come from Peter: “I have one more project to do before I close the book. Its a Rock Album which I am hoping to release next year. Recorded in 1980 this is Peter Goalby’s DESTINY…FINGERS IN THE FIRE”.

More to come on Destiny, as well as Peter recalls his short time in RAINBOW!
