URIAH HEEP

Celebration

(E.A.R Music)

wTHE original very ‘eavy, very ‘umble band celebrate their 40 years in the business by going back into the studio to re-record all their landmark arena anthems – with a couple of new songs tagged on for good measure. After countless line-up changes, Mick Box’s bruisers still know how to rattle the roof with the likes of Sunrise, Stealin’, The Wizard, Gypsy and Free & Easy. Best are the reworked July Morning, which shows they can change their spots, and irresistible riff-driven rockers Look At Yourself and Easy Living. Better than you might expect. PC
