Uriah Heep : Look At Yourself (2003 Expanded Deluxe Edition)






THERE I WAS ON A 

JULY MORNING

LOOKING FOR LOVE

WITH THE STRENGTH 

OF A NEW DAY DAWNING

AND THE BEAUTIFUL SUN..



 Look at Yourself

 is the

 third

 studio album 

by English

 rock band

URIAH HEEP

 released in 

September 1971

 by Bronze Records

 in the UK

 and

 Mercury Records

 in the US.

 It was the last 

Uriah Heep album

 to feature

 founding member

 and bassist 

Paul Newton.

Characterized

 as heavy metal 

and

 progressive rock,

 the album came

 to be viewed as

 a high point

 in the 

band's career 

and is regarded 

by many fans

 and critics 

as one of 

Uriah Heep's

 finest albums, 

along with

 Demons and Wizards,

 released the

 following year.

 The title track 

was released as

 a single

 in various countries,

 followed by

 "July Morning" 

released in 

Japan in 1972.

The song

 "July Morning" 

was the inspiration

 for a Bulgarian tradition,

 known eponymously as 

July Morning

or

 "Julaya", 

of gathering on

 the beach on

 The Black Sea coast 

on the morning of

  July,1st

 to watch

 the sunrise


Cover Art

The original cover art

 on the LP 

featured a

 single sleeve

 with a 

die-cut opening

 on the front

 through which a

 reflective foil

 "mirror" 

was seen, 

conveying a 

distorted image 

of the person 

viewing it. 

The idea, 

by guitarist 

Mick Box, 

was for the cover to 

directly reflect 

the album title, 

and this theme is

 carried through 

the band photos 

on the rear

 of the LP sleeve, 

which have 

also been distorted. 

The LP itself 

was housed in a 

heavy-duty inner card, 

complete with lyrics.
