Lots of great stuff all in one package
Discs 1-3 are where the real treasures are. Alternate versions from the Very ‘Eavy Very ‘Umble, Salisbury and LookAt Yourself sessions. The sound quality is amazing on them.The other 3 discs are full of live material from later on in the band’s career and the sound quality varies to the point where a casual listener may not like it. I have heard all of this stuff from sketchy bootleg cassette tapes way back when and while they are an improvement in sound, this is as good as it’s going to get due to the age and condition of the master tapes. It is good to know that they have been preserved digitally, even in the condition they are in, before they disappeared forever.If you are a die hard Heepster this is highly recommended

David Byron at His Finest
6 CDs, with both studio and live performances, all from the golden age of vocalist David Byron. A must have!

GREAT SIX CD FOR A GREAT PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you cant beat this set for the price, you get alternate takes from what most people call heeps most classic era and then you get a few real killer live shows, obviously as stated the last show from holland on disc 6 is a bit of a let down but i knew that prior to buying this set as i have had that boot for years and i knew there was no way of cleaning that up in a studio, love the 74 & 75 shows though. ive been a heep fan for decades now and i actually love all there stuff up to head first from 1983, then they got a bit weak and tried the commercial radio friendly route but came to there senses by 1995 and released a killer record called sea of light, since then almost every heep record has been great!!!!! this is a great set for new and old fans alike i feel.................

A 40/60 Proposition
I could never understand whe the Rolling Stone Record Guide slammed David Byron all those years ago. Disc 1 & 2 here will enlighten you. Songs are average, the sound is very good soundboard and the singing is brutal! Disc 3,4 & 5 redeem things a bit. Musically, much better. However the sound quality does leave much to be desired, especially for radio broadcasts. Pretty much a collection for hardcore fans only.

Great David B, etc.
Great to hear UH. First 3 CDs were other recordings from first albums’ sessions. Second 3 CDs were later live shows with David B singing. Fun!

Amazing CD Set
This is vintage Uriah Heep, most in top quality sound - Box, Hensley and Byron at their finest! Buy it while you can, and at that price!
