Description

Hello, you are bidding a nice copy of rare poster
of
Uriah Heep
classic Line Up feat. Lee Kerslake and Gary Thain, circa
1973
. Fantastic poster.
The story:
Their debut album,
Very 'eavy... Very 'umble
(which was self-titled in the
United States
), introduced a heavy organ and guitar-driven sound, with
David Byron
's theatrical, dynamic vocals soaring above thunderous sonic backgrounds, although
acoustic
and
jazz
elements also featured in the mix. The album's title references the signature phrase of the
Dickens
character
Uriah Heep
("very 'umble") from the novel
David Copperfield
from which the band took its name.

Their second album,
Salisbury
, was more squarely in the
progressive rock
genre, with its 16-minute title track featuring a 24-piece
orchestra
. Their third album,
Look at Yourself
, released at the end of 1971, included the song "July Morning". Subsequent releases would find the group's ever-shifting lineup (between 1969 and 1980, the band changed drummers five times, bassists four times, and lead singers five times) frequently exploring fantasy-oriented lyrical themes, often in lengthy, multi-part compositions, largely penned by
Ken Hensley
, who would eventually come to dominate the band during his tenure. On December 8, 1975, New Zealand-born former bassist
Gary Thain
was found dead in his
Norwood Green
home, aged 27, having overdosed on heroin.
