Synopsis

Album Description
The Heavy Metal community gives its bands a pretty wide berth; that's one way to explain the success of Uriah Heep. Some will tell you that they were not the best band in the world, but that's not being fair to this multi-talented group of individuals. The group have consistently produced a series of high quality hard rock, and have lasted longer than most bands of that genre. This CD use tracks from Uriah Heep's more eclectic side. It comes with new liner notes from Record Collector's Joe Geesin, and is a great addition to the ever expanding Heep Catalogue. Sanctuary. 2005.

CD Reviews

Great unreleased tracks!
04/19/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"what a great disk,why in the world most of these songs didn't make it the official albums is beyond my ears,especially the unreleased track from "fallen angel",'a right to live'.other highlights include,'split image(no guitar in ear sight),just a synth driven track,great vocals from peter goalby(my second fave heep singer,you know who's best!),'high and mighty'outtake'name of the game'is another great heep heft-rocker and probably better than anything off that album.so why only 4 stars?,due to the fact that there's too many tracks from the bernie shaw era(sorry,but he's a really cheezy vocalist)and he does really sabotage the live tracks of older byron-sung classics."
Not so rare

(3 out of 5 stars)

"this compilation has songs that have been previously been released. if you have the newer remastered heep, you probably have these. the liner notes say that heeps audio vault is deep. then, they should have released unreleased material, rather than cuts that are already available. i don't think the heep need another best of, or a comp of recycled material."
