One year after their self-titled debut appeared in 1970 (entitled VERY 'EAVY VERY 'UMBLE in) England, Uriah Heep struck again with their sophomore effort, LOOK AT YOURSELF. While their debut was a solid slice of blues-based heavy metal, LOOK AT YOURSELF expanded the band's sound, bridging the straight-ahead approach of their early work with the more challenging and progressive work of their next release, SALISBURY.
Highlights include such mega heavies as the album opening title track and the Deep Purple-esque "Love Machine," as well as the surprisingly jazz-inflected "What Should Be Done." Due to it's consistency, many a longtime Heep fan considers LOOK AT YOURSELF to be the band's finest hour.
2003 reissue of the British hard rock band's 1971 album includes seven bonus tracks, 'What's Within My Heart' (outtake from Look At Yourself sessions), 'Why' (Look At Yourself outtake), 'Look At Yourself' (Alternative Single Version), 'Tears In My Eyes' (Previously Unreleased Extended Version), 'What Should Be Done' (outtake, original studio version), 'Look At Yourself' (BBC Session - Previously Unreleased) & 'What Should Be Done' (BBC Session - Previously Unreleased). Deluxe package includes an expansive booklet & slipcase with rare memorabilia & photos. Castle.
Reissue includes seven bonus tracks.
Recorded at Lansdowne Studios, London, England in July, 1971. Includes original release liner notes by Ken Hensley.
Personnel: David Byron (vocals); Ken Hensley (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, organ); Mick Box (acoustic guitar, guitar); Paul Newton (bass); Ian Clark (drums).

Look At Yourself

English version contains extra songs and artist info. booklet.
By 1973, Uriah Heep had progressed from an English heavy metal band to a worldwide success. They moved on to a new label (Warner Bros.) and began to explore new styles to flesh out their combination of prog complexity and heavy metal muscle. The band's desire to break new ground is established with the lead-off track, "Dreamer": while it riffs as hard as the band's past rockers, it adds a surprising element of funkiness into the band's sound. The gentle, acoustic guitar-dominated "Circus" is another change of pace that pushes the group's sound in a meditative, folky direction. The group also explores new avenues in the lyrical arena. Instead of the mystical tales that dominated albums like Demons and Wizards, Sweet Freedom offers lyrics designed to appeal to the listener on a personal level: The most stirring example is "Stealin'," a song about the regrets that come with living a self-obsessed life. These sentiments were combined with a stirring, soulful melody that helped make the song a radio favorite. Another highlight in this vein is the title track, a song that combines lyrics about the price of being free with an organ-fuelled, hymn-like melody. Despite these successful experiments, there are a few tracks that weigh the proceedings down: "Seven Stars" takes an exciting riff and runs it into the ground with a repetitive arrangement and "Pilgrim" is an over-the-top stab at an adventure tale that pushes the group's excesses to the level of self-parody. However, Sweet Freedom is likable enough to triumph over these missteps. While it isn't the group's finest record, it remains a solid listen for Uriah Heep fans. ~ Donald A. Guarisco

| | Uriah Heep Return To Fantasy CD (1975) Bonus Tracks; England
Look At Yourself
$10.59 
Uriah Heep's 1975 record features the hard-rocking tunes "Shady Lady," "Devil's Daughter," and "Shout It Out."
The 2004 remastered British edition includes seven additional tracks.
After two albums that downplayed their penchant for gothic sounds and mystical lyrics, Uriah Heep brought these elements back to the fore on 1975's Return to Fantasy. The resulting album retains the musical experimentation that marked Sweet Freedom and Wonderworld but has an overall harder-rocking feel that makes it more consistent than either one of those albums. Return to Fantasy throws down the gauntlet with the title track, which builds from a tapestry of spooky synthesizer and organ riffs into a thunderous rock tune where the guitar and organ duel over a galloping backbeat laid down by Lee Kerslake. It's bracing stuff and one of the finest rockers in the Uriah Heep canon. The rest of the first side continues in a similarly strong hard rock vein and its other key highlight is "Beautiful Dream," a song that marries stomping hard rock verses to a spooky, ethereal chorus that sounds like it could have been plucked from a mid-'70s Pink Floyd album. On the second side, Uriah Heep gives themselves over to experiments that, while listenable, cause the album to lose focus. For instance, "Prima Donna" is a sardonic commentary on the rock & roll world that features a prominent brass section and prominently overdubbed Beach Boys-style harmonies, while "Your Turn to Remember" is the kind of bluesy AOR ballad that would later be specialized in by groups like Journey. Both songs are fun listening but stray too far from the group's traditional sound and are too dissimilar to make Return to Fantasy a cohesive experience. Despite these problems, the group never turns in a less-than-engaging instrumental performance and the consistent ...
| | Uriah Heep Demons & Wizards CD (1972) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; Remastered; Deluxe Edition; United Kingdom
Look At Yourself
$9.25
Although renowned heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio would become the eventual undisputed "expert" on dungeons, dragons, and wizards, one of the first heavy metal bands to tackle such subject matter was Uriah Heep on their 1972 release, DEMONS AND WIZARDS.
But just as the band went "medieval" on us, they also issued their best straight-ahead rocker (and biggest U.S. hit), "Easy Livin," which was eventually covered by '80s shock rockers W.A.S.P. Other Heep highlights include the album-opening folk rocker "The Wizard" (not the same similarly-titled song by another British metal band--Black Sabbath) and the space rocker "Traveller in Time."
2003 reissue of the British hard rock band's 1972 album includes five bonus tracks, 'Why' (Extended 1972 Version, Previously Unreleased), 'Home Again To You' (Previously Unreleased Demo Version), 'Green Eye' (Previously Unreleased Demo), 'Rainbow Demon' (Previously Unreleased Single Edit), & 'Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf' (outtake).

| | Uriah Heep Salisbury CD (1971) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; United Kingdom
Look At Yourself
$11.79
With their third release (and second album of 1971), SALISBURY, Uriah Heep issued their first real ambitious work. While their first couple of albums (URIAH HEEP and LOOK AT YOURSELF) were cut from the same monolithic blues-metal cloth as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, it was with SALISBURY that David Byron and co. let their admiration of progressive rock seep in--most notably on the album closing, over 16-minute title track, which featured a 26-piece orchestra. Elsewhere on the album, the songs are shorter and more conventional, such as the acoustic ballad "Lady in Black" and the jazzy track "The Park."
2003 remastered reissue of 1971 album with deluxe packaging includes an expansive booklet with rare memorabilia & photo's, plus seven bonus tracks, 'Simon The Bullet Freak' (U.S. album version), 'Here Am I' (previously unreleased version), 'Lady In Black' (previously unreleased version), 'High Priestess' (single edit), 'Salisbury' (previously unreleased single edit), 'The Park' (previously unreleased mix), 'Time To Live' (previously unreleased mix). Slipcase. Castle.
Includes liner notes by Ken Hensley.

| | Uriah Heep Magician's Birthday CD (1973) England
Look At Yourself
$10.59
Uriah Heep's 1972 release, THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY, followed in the same direction as its predecessor one year earlier, DEMONS AND WIZARDS--mystical lyrical themes are merged with heavy guitar riffs and prog-rock organ/synth explorations. Sonically, THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY is a tad more rough around the edges than DEMONS (keyboardist Ken Hensley is given more of a free reign on this album as well), but it's still unmistakably Uriah Heep. The album closing, ten and a half-minute title track is a bona fide Heep epic (with many mood shifts), while "Sweet Lorraine" catches the band at their most rough and rocking.
Deluxe edition with 9 bonus tracks.
Recorded at Lansdowne Studios, London, England in September and October, ...

| | L A Guns 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best Of L.A. Guns CD (2005) Remastered
Look At Yourself
$9.69  
Like an Aquanet-based amber fossil, this 2007 budget-priced compilation cherry-picks 12 perfectly preserved tunes from the late 1980s and early '90s recordings of the Hollywood-based hard-rock band L.A. Guns. Led by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Tracii Guns and vocalist Phil Lewis, the group excelled at raunchy pop-metal (see "Sex Action"), but also knew its way around a sensitive power ballad, as best evinced by the woozy weeper "The Ballad of Jayne."
Collected from all four of their Polydor albums are twelve of the band's hits, classics and fan favorites, featuring the radio-friendly 'The Ballad Of Jayne'. 2005.
