Following hot on the heels of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, British hard rock legends Uriah Heep released their debut album in June 1970. Featuring David Byron on lead vocals, Mick Box on lead guitar and Ken Hensley on keyboards, 'Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble' is quite rightly regarded as a major influence on the development of hard rock and heavy metal. 1970 was the centenary of Charles Dickens' death, and having originally been called Spice, they switched to the more Dickensian Uriah Heep when Hensley joined their ranks after spells in The Gods and Toe Fat before recording their debut. Like their hard rocking contemporaries of the 1970s, it was live on stage where Uriah Heep truly shone, and no self-respecting rock or metal band of the era could be without a classic double live album, and 'Uriah Heep Live' (CD1) is no exception. Recorded at Birmingham Town Hall in January 1973, and released three months later, it delivered their third gold record in a row in the States, it remains a testament to the classic line-up of Box\/Hensley\/Byron\/Kerslake\/Thain. Back in the days when bands were expected to be prolific enough to release two new albums a year, Uriah Heep released their sixth studio album 'Sweet Freedom' (CD3) in 1973, by which time they had been joined by drummer Lee Kerslake (Ozzy Osbourne) and bassist Gary Thain, which many see as the most enduring line-up of the band. The album saw Ken Hensley develop as a songwriter, with the music a blend of proto heavy metal and progressive rock, consolidating their growing popularity at home as well as the all important US market. 'Sweet Freedom' was followed by 'Wonderworld' (CD4) in June 1974, with the hard rock attack of Mick Box's guitar, alloyed to Ken Hensley's keyboards and David Byron's operatic vocal approach making the band a formative influence on bands such as Queen. With a significant dent in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, 'Wonderworld' featured the single 'Something Or Nothing', but was the last studio album to feature bass guitarist Gary Thain. It was the classic Box\/Hensley\/Byron\/Kerslake\/Thain line-up that would record 'Live at Shepperton '74' (CD5) the same year. Issued in bootleg style artwork, the album wasn't given an official release until 1986, and captures the band in a more intimate setting in front of a much smaller, invited audience. CD2 was originally released as part of a deluxe version of 'Live 1973' and features the band in 1974 with a US Radio show session, and with film mixes from the Shepperton show and on an extended 'Rock 'n' Roll Medley'. Uriah Heep continued to tour and release new albums until the present day. In 2025 they launched their farewell tour, celebrating 55 years of music. The package includes liner notes based on new interviews with founder member, Mick Box.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Lorraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraveller in Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Livin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuly Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTears in My Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGypsy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircle of Hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook at Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagician's Birthday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Machine Rock 'N' Roll Medley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll Over Beethoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Suede Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Woman Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHound Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole Lotta Shakin' Going on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Suede Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething or Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Won't Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook at Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Livin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Tired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Won't Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething or Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Easy Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll Over Beethoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Suede Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Woman Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHound Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole Lotta Shakin' Going on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Suede Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreamer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Had the Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilgrim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus Tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunshine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Stars (Extended Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilgrim - Extended Version (Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Had the Time (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Freedom (Alternative Live Version) 14 Stealin' (Alternative Live Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonderworld\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuicidal Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shadows and the Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Tired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Easy Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething or Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Won't Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Got We\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Can I Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove, Hate and Fear (Previously Unreleased Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone's Throw (Previously Unreleased Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreams (Extended Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Won't Mind (Live Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Tired (Live Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Livin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Tired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Won't Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething or Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Easy Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock 'N' Roll Medley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll Over Beethoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Suede Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHound Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Suede Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus Tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Easy Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleazy (Easy Livin')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Livin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929933620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.28.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48705636368599,"sku":"16194990","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5530\/9271\/files\/4455906-3446400.jpg?v=1780461304","url":"https:\/\/licorice-pizza-records.myshopify.com\/products\/uriah-heep-shadow-the-wind-1973-1974-box-uk-cd","provider":"Licorice Pizza Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
