first album I ever brought...first live band I had ever seen at Western Springs Auckland NZ back in the mid 70s I was 15yrs old ...man it was fuckin great to be a teenager back then
saw UH on 3rd dec at brighton centre, wishbone ash were great, but UH were brilliant, it was my first UH convert ever!!!!!!!!, even though i have followed them for over 40 years, got up on the stage to dance, dissapointed not to get a plectrum from the man himself, (mick box), god bless him for keeping the band together for all these years, prefer the byron era, but i am happy that Bernie Shaw does a good job, keep it up Bernie, luv to all, xxx
When I saw this album cover in the record shop in 1970, I bought the LP on the basis of the cover art without having heard of them. I nearly blew my AWA quadrophonic speaker system. Great early forerunners in the early avantegard/heavy rock era.
@G0UDG uhm, dude, i'm not white. i'm brown. trust me, its not what you think. i agree that racism is the scourge of humanity, but we live on a hell of a world with ever decreasing resources and ever increasing gaps between those with money and power and those with nothing. social irresponsibilty, lack of justice, ever depleting resources in every area of life, THIS is what breeds the contempt, and it does take TWO hands to clap, you know what i mean? the gypsies are not without fault.
I remember when I first heard this tune, must have been 71 or 72. Laying on a couch watching the tracers zip across my bedroom ceiling....Oh what you could see and hear when you had a bit of orange barrel in your system and Heep on the turn-table (what we used before CDs kiddies).
That really sounds heavy metal for that time and even for today it still sounds heavy metal. Probably an influence for Stoner Rock Bands..But if i remember, they really changed their style after the magician birthday album. I want to know, do you consider Uriah Heep an heavy metal band ?
heep n ash,last of the greatest,enjoy yourself,im envious,there will never be cool bands like this again,the true classics,i humble myself to uriah,they gave me bitchin tunes for 30 years
@SuperRobza Alexandre Dumas pere wrote over 400 historical novels exposing world tyranny(Roman Catholic Empire). Alexandre Dumas pere was born near Paris in 1802 and 'coincidentally' in 1902 The Society of Gesu(Jesuits) were expelled from France for the 3rd and last time. The Society of Jesu(Jesuits) have been expelled from 83 countries and their pope is ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS).
@SuperRobza 'I do not like the reappearance of The Jesuits ... If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in hell, it is this society of Loyola's. Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religous toleration to offer them an asylum.' John Adams, 2nd President of the U.S.A
@SuperRobza MICHAEL TSARION IS THE WORLDS PREMIER CONSPIRACY RESEARCHER/LECTURER/AUTHOR. DR. BILL DEAGLE, LEO ZAGAMI, JORDAN MAXWELL AND ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVE AS WELL. P.S. MELTING EUPHORIA IS SIMILAR TO OZRIC TENTACLES AND GONG.
@Egista07 Yeah I see guitarist like David Gilmour in the 80 places what the fuck that guy should be 3th I find Rhoad and Iommi in the 80 places, halen in 70st and Howe in 69, Blackmore in 55th place, Joe perry for the 48th position and zappa for 45, what the hell those guys are gods. They should be in top 10. Do you seriously think that The edge, Kurt cobain or Keith Richard could beat Zappa, Halen or Rhoad, there great but not GODLIKE and why Page is on 9th place when he should be in the 2th?
@Egista07 I have. Terry Kath of Chicago isn't in the list. Now I know I'm mentioning Chicago on a Uriah Heep video and all, but take one look at his solo on the video "Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 Live 1970" and you'll pick your jaw up from off the floor. Make sure it's the one from 1970 where he's wearing the light blue suit.
@MattHatter Yes, I've heard that solo before and he was amazing. Another that should have made the list was Joe Walsh just for his work in the James Gang alone.
@TheSlenderman , proof that you should die asap- 1. you stand up for Rolling Stone magazine 2. you use the words ass hat --now kill yourself asap- too bad your mom was pro-life and the world has to suffer for it..
I'm 59 now and still remember this song in 1970 when I was 18 and in college. We had some of the best hard rock back then. You younger folks really did miss out on the best years of hard rock. I'm glad you can all have a chance to hear this now. It was incredible then and it's incredible now. Enjoy, and remember, your parents DID rock and hopefully still do!!
Actually, it's the other way round: the album is "...very 'eavy... very 'umble" and was released in the USA as simply "Uriah Heep" with a different cover...
Thanks for posting this. When I was in 8th grade we had a "bring your music to school day" in one of my classes. This had just come out and I brought it and played the song with the wild wah-wah solo... can't remember the name of that song.
50s Elvis Les Paul Chuck Berry Buddy Holly Ray Charles Bill Haley Carl Perkins Little Richard etc! 60s Beatles Stones Doors Hendrix Who Clapton Dylan Jeff Beck etc! 70s Zeppelin Sabbath Purple Heep Queen AC/DC Aerosmith Rush etc! 80s Maiden Van Halen GunsnRoses Leppard Bon Jovi Motörhead Quiet Riot Saxon etc! 90s Dream Theater Nirvana Pearl Jam Soundgarden Queensrÿche Jane's Addiction Alice in Chains STP etc! 00s What happened?! 2010s ??????
@spike6819 Me too =] and Im only 22 =D vinyl rocks me socks as much as a CD...but then again I DO have a REGA Planar 3 mixed with a Kenwood Integrated Amp KA-7X and some mint original condition Wharfedale E-90's =] so it brings the phrase 'just like I was there' to the equation =D...but really, such great music, pity they toned it down...
@spike6819 Me too! In the early 80's, I saw this at a recordshop. It was together with some outdatet LP's. The price was 2$! When I went to the cashier, someone pitch at my shoulder. A tall, longhaired man in the 30's. he said: If you don't buy it, I will give you 50 $. I went out the shop with my first UH, first edition of their first album!
@TheKookabear yeah I can't even imagine what it must have been like to hear this for the first time when it first came out. My dad saw Heep in 1973 he said it was out of this world. I really wish I was born in the late 50's early 60's because that's when the best music came out.
@TheKookabear You're right.. when this song came out it was sooooooooooo heavy! Sounds kind of thin right now, but at the time, it was a speaker melter. I still think this was their best album.
My favorite song...EVER....Period!!! I wasn't born till '71, but, this album was in my parent's record collection, and was the album that made me want to be a musician!!!! So F%$@ng HEAVY!!!!!! To David Byron(RIP) and Ken Hensley, thank you!!
to be at least honest in this , this song , along with Maybe i'm a beggar - Supertramp , and Halo of Flies - Alice Cooper gave me the right pair of shoes to walk since 1970 in the right paths of Progressive rock as we know it !
Another proof of the fact that Uriah Heep were never again so great as at times of David Byron. Already with the debut album was clear: this band would form together with Ken's so unique organ play the scaffolding his crystal-clear voice. Rockin' greetings from Germany.
Incredible debut this great band ... very heavy. That's Uriah Heep in its deepest essence. K. Hensley proved why he had a guaranteed place in the band.
@Outmind01 that's your opinion the singer in that video isn't the original singer just thought you should know that. That's why I uploaded this video with the original David Byron in it.
@Outmind01 That douchebag singing in that video, couldn't polish David Byron's shoes. I know your opinion is YOUR opinion, but, listen to more early Heep. You may learn to appreciate Byron's vocals. He was an inspiration to most of the vocalists who came after him!!!
David Byron was definitely a pillar for the band. He had an amazing personal voice with ample capacity. When he mixed his last drug and took the stairway, they could never find aby vocalist even close to him. Well, that happened to Queen as well, and they understood it (at least when George Michael said Thanks but no thanks in a polite British manner...)
When I was a child I found this LP in my father's collection and I got scared as hell by the disturbing front cover. Several years ago, I brought my father's phonograph and his collection in my room and... I was only seventeen, I fell in love with Uriah Heep!
Getting very sad now.....just listened to Stray, Van Der graaf Generator and Wishbone Ash....am I trying to relive my younger days or what...???And now these guys !!! All of them just brilliant live Bands....and not the massive so called stadium bands of today...just much smaller really tight venues with awesome atmosphere....
@chris2438 yes reliving younger days. just purchaced Van Der Graff generator H to E the only One, first Album ever bought when 15 years old , saw them live at Woolwich polytechnic. have reminded me about Stray, off to hear a track. the Heep are still going. Wish thay would come to cornwall .
keyboard sounding like jon lord on purple tracks like lazy and highway star! my bro had these on vinyl in the 70's bringing back summer memories just a ten year old little punk!
I remember buying this thirty years ago. The guitar on this song blew me away at the time, and it's still amazing when I hear it today. This song is a masterpiece.
Anyone who says the Heepsters can't rock your socks off just needs to hear their incredible debut album, because even though they are still a phenomenal band, they toned it way down for the rest of their albums that followed. :o)
@chrishove123 Funny because as soon as Rolling Stone magazine first heard this they said it was shit. Hard to imagine right? The opening to this song is great.
@chrishove123 Funny because as soon as Rolling Stone magazine first heard this they said it was shit. Hard to imagine right? The opening to this song is great. It just goes to show you after all these years, Rolling Stone is still one of the worst rock n roll mags out there.

Getting very sad now.....just listened to Stray, Van Der graaf Generator and Wishbone Ash....am I trying to relive my younger days or what...???And now these guys !!! All of them just brilliant live Bands....and not the massive so called stadium bands of today...just much smaller really tight venues with awesome atmosphere....

I don't think so... It's very very great, but by my opinion better debut is Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath". ;-)

keyboard sounding like jon lord on purple tracks like lazy and highway star! my bro had these on vinyl in the 70's bringing back summer memories just a ten year old little punk!

I remember buying this thirty years ago. The guitar on this song blew me away at the time, and it's still amazing when I hear it today. This song is a masterpiece.

Anyone who says the Heepsters can't rock your socks off just needs to hear their incredible debut album, because even though they are still a phenomenal band, they toned it way down for the rest of their albums that followed. :o)

@chrishove123 Funny because as soon as Rolling Stone magazine first heard this they said it was shit. Hard to imagine right? The opening to this song is great.
