Description

2016, New 2-CD expanded edition of Uriah Heep's classic 1970 debut album. 1st CD features original album remastered by renowned engineer Andy Pearce. 2nd CD is an ´alternative expanded reimagining` of the album, featuring 12 unreleased versions of songs compiled by Robert Corich and Heep's Mick Box. Slaughtered by the music press from the beginning, Uriah Heep were always a prime target for the cool brigade. Indeed, they were one of the most obvious bands to go up against the wall when punk rock hit town. That's a shame, as this debut album reveals that they were a proficient outfit with some craft and imagination. ,,Gypsy", which opens the album, is the oustanding track by some distance. The striking opening bars make up for a protracted introduction, David Byron draws you straight into the story the song tells, and the main theme drives the whole thing forward. In the six minutes allotted, the band vary the combinations between guitar, organ and rhythm section. Across the album, they also vary their style.
