About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

When they call this an expanded version, they're not kidding. The original release was a single LP released in 1993 with a baker's dozen of cuts, a good chunk of them actually from the pre-Heep band Spice. The extended 2002 reissue adds an entire extra disc to the recording, essentially adding a slew of alternate takes and other unreleased gems from the Uriah Heep vaults from recording sessions for the first three discs from this underappreciated classic rock group. Aside from being a must for obsessive fans, The Lansdowne Tapes actually makes a fairly decent primer into the band. Uriah Heep was never really a singles group (though the one from this era, "Gypsy," is presented as the alternative extended single mix), but rather an album-oriented rock force whose transition from post-Cream loud-blues purveyors to the early vestiges of what would catapult the group to prog rock god status is nicely documented here, complete with some of the most detailed liner notes you're likely to find.

November 21, 2002: Some of the best music you will hear is early work by bands who were yet to make the big time. This album is no exception; Uriah Heep made it big because of imagination and daring which is displayed here. Unbelievably good recording work for this album considering the age and condition of the source tapes.
