Following the expanded and re-mastered re-issues of Uriah Heep\u2019s first 2 albums (and a new 2 disc anthology called, \u2018Your Turn To Remember\u2019) follows these double CD sets of 3 classic Heep albums. The band\u2019s 3rd album \u2018Look At Yourself\u2019 was originally released in October of 1971 and represented the first for manager Gerry Bron\u2019s new label \u2018Bronze Records\u2019 and was also their first to hit the Top 100 of the Billboard Top 200, peaking at #93.<\/p>\n

The title track is a charging statement of intent as the band don\u2019t let up, with no time to reflect on their success. Such was their hectic schedule at this time they managed to cram touring, session time and 3 albums in the space of 12 months. \u2019Demons And Wizards\u2019 was released in June 1972 and is widely hailed to be their masterpiece. In the US, the album reached #23 on The Billboard Top 200 and was their first album to be RIAA Certified GOLD.\u00a0 It also features their 2 best known tracks in the states, the Classic Rock Radio staple \u201cThe Wizard\u201d and their highest charting single, \u201cEasy Livin\u2019\u201d (#39 Billboard Hot 100). Signs of personal problems and pushy management started to have an effect on the band and the next album, \u2018The Magician\u2019s Birthday\u2019 released\u00a0 November 1972, though a quick follow-up the band somehow managed to pull it off with the album hitting #31 on the Billboard Top 200 and was their 2nd consecutive album to be RIAA Certified GOLD.<\/p>\n
These re-packaged and re-mastered albums have been endorsed by the band all with a bonus disc of un-released material. \u2018Look At Yourself\u2019 was released with a unique foil front cover and this has been faithfully re-created in a lavish digipack format using foil board material which presents the entire package in a new and shimmering light. Roger Dean\u2019s artwork for \u2018Demons And Wizards\u2019 and \u2018The Magician\u2019s Birthday\u2019 captures the music (and the times) perfectly and extensive sleeve notes featuring interviews with the band are written by Joel McIver.<\/p>\n
To Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Record Store Day on April 22nd, 2107, Heep will reissue their landmark 1973 album, \u2018Live 73\u2019. Recorded at the height of their powers with the classic line up of Byron, Box, Hensley, Kerslake, and Thain, \u2018Live 73\u2019 hit the Top 40 on the Billboard Top 200 and achieved RIAA GOLD certification.\u00a0 It has not been officially available on LP in the US for 25+ years.\u00a0 This exclusive Record Store Day version will be released as 2LP 180G Splatter Vinyl in a gatefold jacket and includes a period replica UK Tour Brochure.\u00a0 As a special bonus for fans, 50 tour brochures have been autographed by Mick Box and have been randomly inserted in the production run.<\/p>\n
