Sad news. I've dug out my concert programmes having seen Sky on three tours back in the 80s though only ever got round to buying a couple of their albums. Herbie's biog includes the following...
"Often a group's bass player would get a good sound on stage and a lousy one in the studio, or they'd leave the group to join another, so there was Herbie, easy-going, not too much of a clever Dick, cheap, ready to have a go."
The sessions he did for Marc Bolan he described as "great rock 'n' roll; way in front of all the others" and he toured as part of T Rex with The Damned as support. He says Bolan's only rule was "no girls on the coach".
