Nope Peter I'm here since May (Last 3 days of April to be exact), but I'm a Uriah Heep fan and forced to read David Copperfield at school for my English class.

^ Right you are Ivan! Clap You win my undying esteem, and one "air" drum solo from the deceased drummer of your choice!Big smile

Dickens' Heep (Copperfield's nemesis) was also very evil. Though he described himself as "very 'umble," he was anything but!

GeekTerrific book, BTW, perhaps Dickens' best! (It was his personal favourite.) I HIGHLY recommend it, to those with a taste for 800+ page Victorian novels....Thumbs Up

SmileBut back to the band....Embarrassed

Uriah Heep is a character of David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, an obscure hypocrite clerk.

Uriah Heep describes himself as very umble (humble) in the novel, and playing witrh the lack of "H" they added Heavy without "H" also.

ClapI'm with Ivan: track for track, Look at Yourself always did it best for me! A terrific disc!Thumbs Up

BTW, who will be first to tell me where the band got their strange name, and where the title of their first album comes from as well? Smile

Even though they didn't have reached the definitive formation with Gary Thain and Lee Kerslake, I have a clear predilection for Look at Yourself.

For the first time they had three obviously progressive tracks, the epic July Morning, the incredible Look at Yourself (With the Osibisa Rhythm section) and of course Tears in my Eyes, a track that has everything, killer keyboards, complex vocal work and a fantastic wah - wah guitar by Mick Box.

A perfect album.

Iván

Hi everyone! Uriah Heep is my favourite band! I don't know if this poll has been done before, but what is your favourite Uriah Heep studio album from the 1970s? I have a sneaky suspicion that everyone's going to put "Demons & Wizards"...I love pretty much all of them, but at the moment "Salisbury" is my favourite.
