Great video, guys. Yes, Pete. You should definitely get the box set. I got it last year for my birthday, which is October 19th. In the case of Demons & Wizards and The Magician's Birthday, it does make sense to put them on one cd(both were released in 1972 and both feature Roger Dean covers). It doesn't make sense to bundle High & Mighty with Firefly. In regards to the booklet, I noticed that Lee's name is missing from a section of the lineup breakdown.
@@peteygemini60 Oh, wow Peter. You didn't have to do that. Thank you so much! I'm not on facebook. I am on twitter if that's any help, with the same user name as here.
Always entertaining and interesting when Steven Reid talks about music. And in this case my big favorites Uriah Heep! The only thing I do not agree with him is the album Conquest which I have actually always liked, everything from the music to the album cover that I love. But I'm apparently quite alone about that? 😲 "haha" anyway so thanks for showing all the boxes. I want everything! Maybe especially the picture discs and t-shirts ... 🙃
I don't really dislike Conquest Roland, it's just not as good as the rest of the catalogue to my ears. It is viewed as the clunker in the catalogue by many though, but as Pete says, rank 'em how you like 'em! And he's right.
Pete + Steven Reid= A must watch! Great reviewing Steven. I also used to write for Fireworks magazine but had to knock it on the head about six years ago as it was becoming very time consuming. Still a subscriber to the magazine though! 👍
You mentioned the 50 Years Box might appeal to people who have never purchased their albums and are just getting into them. I know Niamh the Prog Nerd bought that box with all the albums and the merged album artwork as she showed it on her channel a couple of months ago.
Steven-- that's a great hype sticker!! I've gotta have "Choices," the hype sticker is HUGE!! My granddaughter Bo (her nickname, she looks like a young Bo Derek) started saving hers because Steven and I collect them, too. She is a Heep fanatic, because of SoT and hanging around her granddad (me). Those tee-shirts are out-of-sight! Groovy heap of Heep, includes everything but the members themselves. What a treasure to own, will have to 'look into this.' GREAT show, we were glued to the screen throughout. Thanks Pete and Steven! It's always super fun and educational when you guys do these shows.
Thanks for your reply Shane. You've made my day with that. Great to know that you and Bo share a love for The Heep, and that we have another hype sticker collector in our midsts. A young lady of fine taste you have there! Thanks to you both for watching! Enjoy 'Choices'!
Steven Reid love your work great review By the way Steven I bought Super Vintage 'The Shining Light' on the strength of your recommendation and thoroughly enjoying listening to it. In total agreement about Uriah Heep's recent releases, they are fantastic the band is in great form.
Super Vintage are excellent David! And there's lots of great stuff on Grooveyard Records in general. An excellent label doing things for the right reasons.
The last 4 Uriah Heep albums are great, I know Pete mentioned about a live concert where guys only wanted to listen to the Byron era, which is a shame because Bernie Shaw is one of the best singers out there. I wonder if Steven has listened to much from David Readman.
Salisbury, with the American cover, is the first album I ever heard by them. I wonder where the song Time To Live ranks with the band. Our band attempted it many years ago but none of us could sing those high notes, LOL. I still love that song, though.
I almost bought this box set but was turned off by the double CD’s. There was no need to throw random vinyl on this box because it’s mainly CD’s. Should’ve just been all CD’s (and I usually prefer vinyl)
I got the first box to get the whole back catalog in one go (only had a few on vinyl already). My only complaint is that I would have rather they had each album on one cd with full replica artwork and then not bothered with the choices cds - especially seeing as they released the cheaper one later in the year. Even so the whole catalog + the vinyl was too good to pass up….
Steven and Pete either of you have a box set of Heep called Wizards and Demons.I picked it up many years ago.It's a box set with the history of Heep and 4 dvds through their history.Alot of footage with John Wetton.Very cool set
Is this one of the videos that Pete had/has in the can to release while he is on a short vacation? I can't remember exactly when he said he would be off but it would explain the hair.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Thanks. You know that festival in Rochester, NY you mentioned in the Prog show last night with the Saturday night headliner with Alex Skolnick? The headliner on Friday was YYNOT. The band I have been trying to get you to listen to. I saw them the next night in Detroit and they were great with a mix of Rush covers and great original material.
Pete neatly summed me up at around the 40 min mark. Yonks ago I had a few Heep albums on vinyl and I've seen them live a couple of times. I like them but I'm not a huge fan. The Fifty Years In Rock set was the one for me. All the studio albums for a bargain price. Having lived with it since Christmas I have reservations about the packaging but not the music. Looking at the B.O.C. Colombia Albums box I reckon this could have been packaged better but still come in at a budget price. I don't think it's going to offer much to the really dedicated fan. If the band need any tips about how they should be catered for, they could do worse than look at Ian Hunter's truly magnificent Stranded In Reality. Hope I don't sound like too much of a moan. All of Uriah Heep's studio albums for just over £100, can't complain too much at that.
Hi Steven ,I got my first lip from heep back in the 80s and it was when I was in a record shop (hmv,or one those) and I did not know who they were and I just like the cover and it was Abominog
I know that you a big fan from Marillion and Fish to day I receive some artwork from Mark Wilkinson two from Marillion,market square heroes and still drowning.Two from Fish are taken from weltscherz,also I got my ticket for the live stream from Fish

Hi Stephen (Steven?). Cheers. I guess with so few crossovers, it makes them very representative lists from their catalogue including the two newer members. Loved the video with Pete. I’ll definitely be buying those sets! Loved the Marillion one you both did also. Just got the Fugazi box sets signed from Fish’ own website. I was bugging the heck out of his wife about new stocks arriving because I missed them when originally released, and I have the other three sets signed, so didn’t want to miss them and then have to pay through the nose on the web, especially for signed copies!
@@martinkulkarni3569 Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Enjoy the boxes! Yes, that Fugazi set is excellent. The remaster/mix really is something special and one of the better ones I've heard. As ever, the documentary is cracking too. Well done on bagging a signed one!
@@TranquilityFireReid Cheers, I’m sure I will! Yes I’ve heard the Fugazi set is great. I must tell you that I saw Fish at a gig in Newcastle where’re I’m from. It was in a tiny little building which was used as a music studio back in the day. Owned by the Redgrave family believe it or not before then! They were heavily involved in the communist party movement and it was used to hold meetings and events there. When it was a music studio, both Sting and Mark Knopfler used it. Anyway, this gig consisted of a bald headed pot bellied Fish, an old guy on piano and an old guy on acoustic guitar, and the sound man at the back was wearing a tutu! I though WTF id this! Fish did the whole of Fugazi, and it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to, it was amazing. The crowd were ecstatic!
@@martinkulkarni3569 Frank Usher on guitar and Foss Patterson on keys I'd guess. I saw that trio acoustic in a small theatre (no tutu that I'm aware of) and they were superb!
I'll be damned you did get the big old box look at all those t-shirts one for every album.. To that end up being with shipping and everything more than 299 or was it right at about 300 bucks somebody was saying but again again as fast as that shit goes up someone puts it on eBay for three times the amount thinking they're going to get it LOL.
Very cheaply made. I hate those cardboard sleeves. They should have released 2 or 3 boxes (by era?) and have each album in a heavy duty digipak with an awesome booklet.
@@sadekx5251 Sorry, with you referring to digi-packs I presumed you were referring to 50 In Rock box. Everyday Rocks is only in picture disc vinyls + t-shirts

Thanks Denis, so glad you enjoyed it!

All the damn time.

Life is better with music.
I was a semi Heep fan. But after watching this, I'm a nerdy fan. Cheers!
I recently purchased this box set! One of the better ones to get!

Steve - when Uriah Heep toured Australia in the 70s there was a special double album compilation released called Down Unda.
Never knew that Peter. I'll need to have a hunt for it.
I have that album….it was only ever available as an Australian import, if I remember correctly….
@@TranquilityFireReid Steve i have tracked down the album here in Australia happy to send over when I receive it. Are you on FB ?
@@peteygemini60 Oh, wow Peter. You didn't have to do that. Thank you so much! I'm not on facebook. I am on twitter if that's any help, with the same user name as here.
@@TranquilityFireReid Steve i have that album now I'm not on Twitter so not sure how I get your details.
The Steven Reid sweepstake........how many times will he say, 'Do you know?' Love it!!
Do you know? That's a good idea! lol!!! Thanks for watching!
Bought both of Heep’s recent box sets and love both of them……

Its so strange , i love EQUATER and CONQUEST...different stroakes for different folks lol
Pete + Steven Reid= A must watch! Great reviewing Steven. I also used to write for Fireworks magazine but had to knock it on the head about six years ago as it was becoming very time consuming. Still a subscriber to the magazine though! 👍
Thanks Shaun. Very much appreciated and good to know you're still reading Fireworks!
wow Pete your hair is back, music let's grow you hair... this looks very very good !!

It's strange that one of the box sets is called called "Choices" and no-one actually chose the song itself.

Super Vintage are excellent David! And there's lots of great stuff on Grooveyard Records in general. An excellent label doing things for the right reasons.

I actually find the hybrid cover art of Very 'Eavy and Salisbury (as well as the other alternate covers) pretty cool. Gives it a more unique feel
The last 4 Uriah Heep albums are great, I know Pete mentioned about a live concert where guys only wanted to listen to the Byron era, which is a shame because Bernie Shaw is one of the best singers out there. I wonder if Steven has listened to much from David Readman.
I really like his albums with Voodoo Circle.
Very cool stuff, guys. Got me interested enough to pre order “Choices” box set. Look forward to checking it out.
Thanks for the info 🎶✌️🤘👏
You won't be disappointed!
Salisbury, with the American cover, is the first album I ever heard by them. I wonder where the song Time To Live ranks with the band. Our band attempted it many years ago but none of us could sing those high notes, LOL. I still love that song, though.
i don’t have that but i did get the first 5 Dio albums collection in today
Thanks again for the Ilium shirt Pete :) I think Night Of The Wolf from Equator is one of the best songs they ever did and no one ever mentions it
Not the biggest UH fan but loved this video. Cheers fellas
Had to laugh when Pete says a little unboxing set show. It was massive lol.
Ever thought of a kind of family tree uriah heep show ? lucifer's friend ,ken hensley solo etc some great stuff out there
I almost bought this box set but was turned off by the double CD’s. There was no need to throw random vinyl on this box because it’s mainly CD’s. Should’ve just been all CD’s (and I usually prefer vinyl)
Great Review........Thank you both.
So awesome! And just like Pete, I’ve bought this catalogue so many times on different formats 😅
I feel your pain trying to sneak a delivery past the wife.
Good review 👍 ❤️ sea of tranquility.
Thanks Mark!
Love the fact you guys wear front print only shirts
I got the first box to get the whole back catalog in one go (only had a few on vinyl already).

That box is calling Petes name " Please buy me"
Amazing! 👌🏼

How very true!
Great show as always Pete. Definitely looking forward to getting this.
The band choices available as 6 cd set just released here in UK Stephen awesome
Fireworks is a great magazine but hard to find down under.
I do get great hopes for the future album in 2022!
So refreshing to see a proper review of a band etc and not sit watching a video of a song etc
Brilliant video Love Heep
