Cool!
I see an old Uriah Heep album - How awesome is that!!!!!
Wish my rehearsal space looked half that good - that's plush
Return to Fantasy, Wetton's first with UH after the lackluster Wonderworld, Thain's swansong (heroin was taking its toll on the frail New Zealander). Basically their last commercial success with the Byron line up and heavily pushed at the time in the UK via TV adverts which was treading new ground for rock albums.
The title track was a killer, kind of Easy Living revisited in epic Lord of the Rings format. Here's a contemporary live version with a flat David Byron aided capably by Wetton's backing vox. By that time, Byron was drinking and prancing around too much, thinking he was the star of the band which ousted him soon after (with Wetton leaving on his own as well). He and Wetton got on along famously in UH though, the bond of fellow alcoholics I guess.
And Rainbow Rising's iconic cover, jawohl!!!
Now I want to be 16 again!!!
