I got into UH after hearing July Morning (in the early 80s) on the radio. Must have several copies of most of their 70s albums, all on Bronze unfortunately (have all except Return to Fantasy). I bought High and Mighty from Our Price, still sealed in 1982. Good album. The first one I got was 'Best of Uriah Heep' on Bronze, from early 80s.
The first live band i ever saw in 1971 at Walthamstow Tech. Much respect to Mick Box for carrying the flame all these years. Look at Yourself for me remains my favourite - Shadows of Grief is an absolute classic.
I have been buying records for 50 years and have over 6000 records, I love all kinds of music from jazz, soul, funk, indie, disco, rock, AOR and Latin. To my shame although I have been aware of Uriah Heep for 45 years or so I have never knowingly heard a single track. Something I will rectify for sure. Cheers Jake and I look forward to taking part in the WhatsApp group.
Hi Jake. Great video. I've had a look at your USSR pressing of Innocent Victim. The label roughly translates as Melody, founded in 1964. They pressed quite a few classic rock records including some by Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin and Queen.
Great video mate, and an impressive collection if i must say so myself. You do have quite a lot of missing albums, but then you do have the best and that's what counts. I first came across Heep when my cousin lent me Demons And Wizards ( their best album ) and have been a fan ever since. I did have first presses of everything they released from 1975 to 1982, sadly they're all gone now, although i do have them on cd. I wish i had the space to collect their stuff on vinyl but sadly i don't so it's CDs for me. I've been collecting the CD digipacs of the early albums but they seem to stop around ' The Magician's Birthday ' I've yet to see Sweet Freedom, Wonderworld, or Uriah Heep Live so don't know if they've ever been released. I actually bought Salisbury last weekend. I was also lucky enough to see them live 3 or 4 times during the mid 70s, I saw them on their Return To Fantasy Tour, the Firefly tour, and their Innocent Victim tour, i last saw them around 2000. I don't know if you have, or have heard Ken Hensley's solo stuff, especially his first two albums 'Proud Words On Dusty Shelf ' and 'Eager To Please' but do yourself a favour and buy them, honestly you won't be disappointed, Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf is nothing short of brilliant, it's then that you'll realise why Uriah Heeps albums with Ken Hensley were classics. Nothing they released after Ken left came close to the albums he helped write.
Great video, but I have to correct you: all Uriah Heep studio albums came out on vinyl. Myself, I’m only missing ‘Sea Of Light’, but it is there. It’s only very expensive when one pops up.
fantastic collection. I have all the early releases up to Innocent Victim, and then only Living the Dream (on CD sadly) and Chaos and Colour. These last 2 are fantastic albums - as good as their early recordings to my ears 🙂 I saw them live (in Swansea) on the 10th anniversary Conquest tour, and again in 2022. I can't remember much about that first show, other than that Girlsschool were the support. Chris Slade also did a PA at the local music shop so I bunked off school to go and see him! But in 2022 they really rocked! They did nearly 3 hours with an acoustic set to open and then a full on rocking set to close. I would hope they tour (headline) again soon.
Great vid. I had always listened to UH via Dad and inherited some of the records a couple of years ago after he passed. Have bought a few more since and always looking for more.
Hi Jake, Stumbled across your channel bye chance and I really have enjoyed your videos. I Love Heep and Sabbath, I have been collecting Records since 1971, (53 Years) I have over 4,000 LP's and around 3,000 CD's. I have some early Vertigo, Island Records and Harvest pressings that I've owned since I originally bought them in the early seventies. I will keep dropping in on your channel from now on. Bye the way, Were can I get hold of some of Barry Wintons Books. I may even drop in on the WhatsApp Group.
Great video and great UH collection. I don't have Firefly myself. It's a shame since it's one of my favourites. Lucifer's Friend is a top 3 band for me.
I've bought two UH LPs because of you two. First one and the Demons and Wizards one (which I prefer). I'm liking it, sounds like QotS to me in parts (or rather they sound like UH). I'm a Funk, Jazz, Soul guy.
The Label is Melodia, i have some Ukrainian Records on the same Label, little history during the Soviet Union, Russia Controlled everything ( any form of media ) so, Melodia was the label for the USSR
Yes Melodia was one of the finest record labels on the classical music market. Up there with Decca, Philips, Deutsche Grammophon in the early stereo years. Fab collection.
Hello and thanks for your videos ! Yes, that "weird" version is from russia and is written as:" Melodija" - the R backwards means ja , but melodia is the meaning ... I have seen Peter Gabriel album also released in russia , forgot which one i have seen. Probably not sung in russian language ...!!
I have some Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd on the Melodia label.Cheap,thick paper non gatefold covers.The artist gets no money from these ‘bootlegs’,goes to the Russian coffers.I have a double compilation from the early 70s called Downunder which the band released when they toured here.They were quite popular here then.

Mam wszystko na winylu(Polska), Colour & Chaos powala! Najlepszy od Conquest!

Widziałem w Warszawie Box/Shaw/Bolder/Lanzon/Gillbrook.
I have a few of those UH albums. Love them all throughout the years. Enjoyed the video and your channel.

How about a budgie review? I’m from the USA and love you’re videos thx man!
Nice collection! Uriah Heep is one of my favorite bands all way back from 1977 when I started listen to heavy rock.

Great band that I'd heard of but never listened to until last year. Those 1970s albums are superb.

Uriah Heep was for some reason one of the most popular bands in Czechoslovakia and other countries behind the iron curtain
Awesome collection . I’m chasing the Alternate USA cover of very eavy . Thanks for showing us your collection 😎👌
Equator is a great 80's record! I love Holding On, it's a power ballad with a great box guitar solo 👌
great band and great collection

Awesome stories mate! thanks for watching

Very enjoyable video. Some great LPs there
Thank you kindly!
they're latest " chaos and color " is fantastic. not sure if it is on vinyl though.
Interesting video. Thanks !
Wow, amazing Uriah Heep Records
I really like Rockarama on the Equator album, Goalby is a beast.
Great video and great UH collection. I don't have Firefly myself. It's a shame since it's one of my favourites. Lucifer's Friend is a top 3 band for me.
Thanks mate! I Honestly I don't think I've seen many copies of firefly, at least not fairly priced anyway!
@@thevinylhunters in Denmark the record is often found for prices between 17£ and 23£.
Nice collection @thevinylhunters

Awesome! great album!
Hey I have the same Animal Crossing Switch! Definitely my favorite version!
Great video 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Do you not have ‘Head First’? Good album came out after Abominog.
Why wasn’t Conquest released in the U.S.?
They are one group whovi never listened to but maybe ive missed vout😢
The label of the russian album might be "Melodia".
Thanks for the info!
I think you'll be disappointed by high and mighty. Anyway what a great collection.
In fact I wasn't! I was pleasantly surprised!
Very Nice Swirl Pressings
Glad you like them!
Demons and Wizards

Only one place for a Uriah Heep album collection and that's a compost heep!!
There's always one...
