The 1972 Uriah Heep'sa LOOK AT YOURSELF is the high water mark for the famed British heavy prog psych band and a great one featuring their most turned-on powerful sounds...

• David Byron - lead vocals
• Ken Hensley – organ, piano, guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals
• Mick Box – lead guitar, acoustic guitar
• Paul Newton – bass guitar
• Ian Clarke – drums

A fierce, Heep comes out on this album! Anger and aggression seem to dominate the songwriting, here, and it makes for a compelling piece of music.

Opening with the title track it hurtles out of the tracks like some demented heavy metal demon, Hensley and Box thrash out the songs riff before the wonderfully strong voice of David Byron calls his brethren to the cause, the rest of the band harmonizing behind him, then after a rampaging guitar solo, the riff is picked up again to bring the song to a rousing crescendo with the percussionists from 'Osibisa' brought in to add their sound to the climax. The pace is not let up by the following song 'I Wanna Be Free' as the chorus is driven along by a pounding beat, but with sympathetic vocals, and fine musical flourishes, with all the guitars in the band standing out. At track three is probably Uriah Heep's most famous song 'July Morning' a song that no version of the band could ever contemplate going on stage and not playing before they leave, it must of also been licensed out to every 'Best of Hard rock albums' ever made. After Ken Hensley's strident organ chords open the song up, Mick Box takes the song to a higher level with some truly rockin' guitar, before the whole thing is brought down to allow the vocals of David Byron to take over, the song is a loving ten minutes long, showing the full range of all the soloist's, building to many crescendo's before reaching a dramatic conclusion with everybody having a go at the solo's and Manfred Mann brought into the studio to add his deft touch on the moog syntherziser, a classic rock song. And it just goes on alike from there ...powerful... Uriah Heep's rampage.
