Still 'Eavy Still Proud: Two Decades Of Uriah Heep

Original Liner Notes

To celebrate twenty years in rock, having survived all the rigors and turbulence that entails, and still look to the future with renewed vigor and optimism is truly exceptional. URIAH HEEP are such an exception.

With a unique combination of melody, harmony and power they have influenced and inspired millions of people worldwide. From their Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble album debut in 1970, through to the excellent Raging Silence last spring (their seventeenth studio album), HEEP have traveled their own individual course, accepting the challenges that each new year presented and always breaking new ground.

It has been an adventure that has seen few parallels; the last few years speeding by in a whirlwind of global travel, as the band increasingly cast their gaze to new horizons, leaving some thirty-eight countries touched by the sound and vivacity of URIAH HEEP.

This album reflects the band's outstanding musical achievements, in a combination of re-recordings and original tracks, starting with Gypsy (the first track on the first side of their first album) and finishing with a remix of their most recent single, Blood Red Roses.
