[Heeplist] Uriah Heep 50 Years In Rock box set coming in October

[Tapio Minkkinen]

This was annnounced yesterday. This massive box includes all 24 original 
studio albums plus Live 1973 on 19 CD's. Means that not all albums are 
on individual CD's, six of them have been paired together with another 
album where time constraints hve allowes. There seems to be the original 
album tracks, no bonus tracks with rare or previously unreleased tracks. 
There's also four "members favourites" CD's: Mick Box, Ken Hensley, Lee 
Kerslake & Paul Newton have all chose 14 - 15 own favourites. There's 
also The Magician's Birthday vinyl with the same kind of "reimagined 
artwork" that was done the Demons & Wizards abum a few years ago. 
Besides the music there's also lots of other stuff, details below. It 
certainly is massive and I am sure it is a fantastic looking box. The 
musical contents I am not commenting, everyone can judge themselves if 
this is worth spending over 200 euros.


On 30th October 2020 BMG proudly release Uriah Heep’s Fifty Years In 
Rock.

British hard rock legends Uriah Heep are one of the “big four” rock 
bands, along with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and 
certainly one of the most intriguing bands both musically and lyrically, 
to emerge from heavy rock.

This extensive and ambitious super deluxe box set celebrates Uriah 
Heep’s remarkable career and

was created with the full collaboration of Uriah Heep themselves and 
curated by founding members Mick Box, Ken Hensley, Paul Newton and Lee 
Kerslake.

The beautifully presented box set contains 23 CD albums including 4 CDs 
compiled by the original members. This set also includes “The Magician’s 
Birthday” LP, remastered by renowned engineer Andy Pearce of Lou Reed 
and Black Sabbath fame, with re-imagined artwork by Roger Dean, two art 
cards and a 64 page book featuring rarities from the band’s personal 
archives.

This ultimate collection of Uriah Heep albums, released between 1970 and

the mighty Londoners has been brought together of course, but never has 
the band’s ENTIRE career, covering EVERY album, been collected together 
and presented in this truly celebratory box set.
