Mick Box - Paul Newton - David Byron - Alex Napier
The Lansdowne Tapes
is a compilation album
by the British rock band
and released in 1993.
The recordings featured
on the album date
from the time before
the change of name to
Uriah Heep
and during
the early sessions
that culminated in
material eventually used
on the band’s debut album.
Recordings About half
of the recordings belong
to a band called
Spice,
which featured
Mick Box,
David Garrick
who later changed
his name to
David Byron
Paul Newton
and
Alex Napier;
they were signed to
Gerry Bron's company
Hit Record Productions
on August 1st 1969.
These early recordings
feature tracks laid down
by Spice
at the Lansdowne Studios
from
July to December 1969,
many of which
formed part
of Spice's
live set at the time.
Originally intended for
an album release,
some of the songs were
shelved when
Ken Hensley
became a member of the band
in February 1970.
His influence gave them
a distinctive sound which
was marked with a
name change to
Uriah Heep,
in time for their first album
...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble
scheduled for
May 1970 release.
The rest of the album
features material taped by
the embryonic
Uriah Heep
line-ups.
It includes several takes
of old favourites
and previously
unreleased tracks
that were recorded
for the first three albums,
all taped during
1969-1971.
The songs were remixed
from the original
8-track tapes at
Lansdowne Studios.
