URIAH HEEP Very `Eavy Very `Umble (Vertigo 6360 006) RARE Swirl German 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE German first pressing of Uriah Heep`s debut album "Very `Eavy Very `Umble" on Vertigo Records (June 1970).
"If this group makes it, I'll have to commit suicide. From the first note you know you don't want to hear any more. Uriah is watered down, tenth-rate Jethro Tull, only even more boring and inane. UH is composed of five members: vocals, organ, guitar, bass, and drums. They fail to create a distinctive sound tonally; the other factor in their uninteresting style is that everything they play is based on repetitive chord riffs. (...) Uriah Heep spent the past year in the studio, rehearsing and writing songs. No doubt their lack of performing experience contributed to the quality of the record; if they had played live in clubs they would have been thrown off the stage and we'd have been saved the waste of time, money, and vinyl." - Melissa Mills, Rolling Stone - October 1st, 1970.
