...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble
is the debut
studio album
by English
Rock band
It is recognized as a
foundational album
in heavy metal
music.
Release
The album was
released in
June 1970
by Vertigo Records
in the UK.
The original
vinyl release
was a gatefold sleeve,
featuring frontman
David Byron
on the front sleeve,
almost unrecognisable
beneath cobwebs.
It was issued in
August 1970
by Mercury Records
in the United States
as just
Uriah Heep
with different sleeve artwork
(a centipede type monster),
and with the track
"Bird of Prey"
in place of
"Lucy Blues".
The album was
reissued by
Bronze Records
in 1971
after the band
signed to that label.
The album shows
the band trying out
various genres
a mix of
heavy metal
and
progressive rock
rather than
the hard rock
that they would
become known
for on
later albums.
Tracks 3 and 8
were recorded as
Spice
songs prior to
the band's renaming
as
Uriah Heep,
and featured
session player
Colin Wood
on keyboards.
When Ken Hensley
joined Spice
in early 1970,
the tracks were not
re-recorded.
