HEY! YOUR DAD IS URIAH
HEEP!!
"Classic Heep - An Anthology" was compiled from the Byron era albums and released in 1998 on Mercury Records in the USA. It was
planned in advance that the cover art would show a man dressed as an old English street peddler hawking Uriah Heep memorabilia..... kind of a 'Uriah Heep' in the flesh. Hugh Syme, the artist responsible for the cover art, saw a gentleman riding his bicycle and knew immediately that the man had the right look
for the cover. After "The Anthology" was released, the man's son saw the CD cover and recognized his father. The son got in touch with Heep.Com was able to locate his father whom he hadn't seen in years!
