The album does considerably more than just pick up where it’s predecessor, “Very ‘Eavy Very Umble”, left off by further opening the door to imagination and experimentation. Uriah Heep’s second album, “Salisbury” reveals a band that is still discovering its musical direction, broadening a collective style, yet remaining true to it’s rock roots. This particular edition has a number of bonus tracks and liner notes by the UH musicians. Highly recommended to anyone who likes classic rock. Words cannot describe the music of this album. High class performance of all the band members: David Byron, Mick Box, Paul Newton, Ken Hensley and Keith Baker. Listen to their guitar and keyboard parts. All are classic tracks - from 'Bird of Prey' to 'Salisbury', an epic composition that has so many different tunes that you would listen to it over and over again for years! 'The Park', 'High Priestess' are truly poliphonic. There is not a single filler song on this album. It was a poor one-channel tape recording but even such distorted version was sufficient for me to become a die-hard UH fan. I listened to it from the beginning to the end spellbound. I remember the first impression from listening to the album back in the 70s - I was thunderstruck. Thanks again to Bob for sharing your gift.Īlthough not the most popular, 'Salisbury' is a sheer magic of the Wonderworld of Uriah Heep. Am now in the process of ordering two early albums on my way to collecting their complete discography. Shame on me thought I possessed a decent knowledge of music - and knew nothing concerning Uriah Heep same for the name. This brilliant reviewer had more than peaked my interest to explore this simply amazing band. The cut Salisbury is worth the price of the CD! Good UH rock.this CD shows UH talentin writing & composition.
