Here's an interesting find. I'm on a prog bender of sorts at the moment. Cannot get enough of the stuff. They say that's why punk happened, all the overblown 9 minute-drum solos and insane LP/song titles referencing either JJR Tolkien or Jules Vernes but I don't know. Truth is, I was just learning to crawl back then so how could I know, huh? I found this killer original Vertigo Label pressing in a record store in Melbourne whilst shaking my head to the lovely Echo & the Bunnymen soundtrack provided by the nerd behind the counter. I fell in love with the artwork and bought it. Uriah Heep are one of those semi-buried prog bands who produced some of the hardest rocking music of the genre. They formed in London in 1970 and apparently over 30 musicians played with UH over the years. I also own the debut Very'Eavy Very'Umble. I can only recommend those fine records to my fellow diggers.
