Beginn

Noch nicht so ausgereift wie die folgenden Platten, hat aber gute Momente. "Gypsy" gefällt mir nicht. Anspieltips "walking in your shadow", "Melinda" "Dreammare", die Bonus Tracks sind interessant. Seinen kreativen wie kommerziellen Frühling sollte die Gruppe bald mit "Salisbury" haben. Außerdem anschaffenswert: "Look at yourself", "Demons and Wizards" und "Magicians Birthday". Mit diesem cover schuf sich Uriah Heep ein dämonisches Image. Auf dem Cover ist übrigens David Byron abgebildet, der danach die Spinnweben lange nicht aus seinen Haaren entfernen konnte. Darauf wäre ich vor 28 Jahren nicht gekommen Thomas Richter

HEEP is good!

This album was released in 1969, together with Zeppelin, purple, Sabbath. Uriah Heep started their debut.
The songs here are classic masterpieces in their early 70's hey day, check out them in the first album like gypsy, dreammare, I'll keep on trying, Come away melinda etc......what a goldies collection it is! Heep is also good as Led Zeppelin, Purple, Black Sabbath in the 70's rock classic era.
Long time ago the American journalist at the rolling stone magazine Melissa Mills wrote that I will rather to commit suicide than listening to this band.
Yes Melissa Mills was a fool poor journalist,....she didn't know how good this band is!
In fact that URIAH HEEP sold out their albums/recordings worldwide 30 million albums until today!! well you know this now,....Is Uriah Heep still a bad group ??? you should answer it by your selves! This band is a goldies...

Shadowed by Deep P. and Led Z. ? Absolutely not !!!

Most of us have overlooked this group on behalf of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and so on. What a great mistake:they were really superb and the first releases true masterpieces.



This the first album and it' s surprisingly hard: guitar solo on "I'll keep on trying" is something you don't have to miss.

Mick Box shows his high technique and a new way of playing guitar; and what about the vocalist: one of the best ever, with such a pure voice , switching from hard songs to melodical ones without any problem.



So buy it and discover UH: this one and the following 4/5 albums are really milestones oif Hard and Heavy.
