Germany - pink rimmed ISLAND (85 690 IT)
A-1 MACHINE STAMPED MATRIX
FINAL COLLECTION COPY!!!
SCARCE....GERMAN pink-rimmed Island vintage '70's pressing in LAMNIATED GATEDOLD COVER ... completely different / superior to the USA issue ... contains a different track listing as well...
The very first and one of the best, Uriah Heep albums -- a progressive hard psych mix that delivers a melodic attack of gushing organ and ripping guitar... very theatrical dynamic arrangements throughout are a plus for collector fans....
............................................................................
The mighty HEEP 1st has heavy moments, gentle moments and harsh blues and lots of doomy atmospherics. Great variation of different kind of tracks. The ultimate HEAVY classic with the nifty prog-rock intro and introducing the patented Heep banshee harmonies complete with wild breakout organ solo, wailing slide guitar and moody atmospherics.
(A-1) Awesome dark & doomy cruncher "Gypsy" starts the album at 6:34
(A-2) Walking in your Shadow: Cool heavy riff, great guitar tone. An underated classic
(A-3) Come away Melinda: Leaning a bit towards the errie side, still a nice ballad.
(A-4) Lucy Blues - hard dark UK blooz-boom grooves, not issued within the USA release
(B-1) Dreammare - An excellent heavy rock stomper featuring a great guitar solo. Tops!
(B-2) Real Turned On - Another hard riff based heavy featuring lots of juicy slide guitar
B-3) I'll keep on Trying - Good one with a nice meaty emotive guitar solo.
B-4) Wake up (Set your sights) Hard Heep classic ripper...not a bad way to spend 6:22
