URIAH HEEP-...VERY 'EAVY VERY 'UMBLE-1970-FIRST PRESS (STANDARD VERSION) UK- VERTIGO SWIRL-6360006. A-1/B-1 Stamper matrices 420-1-1-4./ 420-1-1-5 An earlier version with an error on the label (songwriters and publishing are not specified) has been corrected to this version of the label. At the same time, the matrices and stamps remained the same, as well as the error in the track list on the inside of the cover. A mega rare British original of a cult album. The album was released in June 1970 by Vertigo Records in the UK. The original vinyl release was a spread-out envelope with frontman David Byron depicted on the front sleeve, almost unrecognizable under the cobwebs. It was released in August 1970 by Mercury Records in the United States under the name just Uriah Heep with a different cover design (a centipede-type monster) and with the track "Bird of Prey" instead of "Lucy Blues". The album was re-released by Bronze Records in 1971 after the band signed a contract with that label. The album shows how the band tries different genres – a mix of heavy metal and progressive rock, rather than hard rock, which they became known for on later albums. Tracks 3 and 8 were recorded as Spice songs before the band's renaming to Uriah Heep, and featured session musician Colin Wood on keyboards. When Ken Hensley joined Spice in early 1970, the tracks were not re-recorded.

The album turned out to be really very similar to the previous one, but it was never hidden by the musicians. May said that both records were being prepared at the same time, but one was recorded earlier and the other later. ...more
