First thing, the track listing was changed at the last minute, so what is listed above is slightly off. The bonus live disc is NOT just from '79. One-third is, but the others are from various shows. A handful have been released on recent live albums of theirs. Two songs are live versions of "Equator" songs, one song is from "Acoustically Driven", a couple are from "The Magician's Birthday Party". That actually makes this set better. Also, on the "main" part of this set, the song 'Hold Your Head Up', from "Raging Silence" is not on here. There are no studio "Equator" songs, either, unlike what the above song list suggests. 'Heartache City', from that album, is not here at all. 'Woman Of The Night', from "Fallen Angel" is not here, except as one of the live '79 tracks on the last disc. None of this takes away from the quality of this release, as the rarities make up for it. This is basically an updated version of the out-of-print "Time Of Revelation" box set. This really is a BOX set, as Mick BOX chose the songs! UPDATE: THE TRACK LISTING ABOVE HAS BEEN CHANGED SINCE I REVIEWED THIS, AND IS NOW CORRECT!(1-9-06)
If you love Heep, this is the Box for you. I bought mine a while ago and I love it. The price is very reasonable. Six discs of terrific music in more or less chronological order. Music from every era, from every album. The discs are all long. The 60 page book has some nice stuff in it as well. If you're new to Uriah Heep, then this may be a bit too much at once. On the other hand, if this band is new to you, you may just want to take the plunge and get this giant thing. It's very cool.
Having already downloaded an MP3 copy of Chapter and Verse by Uriah Heep, I knew what I was getting but wanted the full packaging and CD quality sound. What I received exceeded expectations, the packaging is superb and a detailed and comprehensive booklet with notes from surviving members, past and present. This brilliant boxed set was inexpensive and the time from ordering to arrival was about two weeks shorter than I expected. Thank You
I agree with most of the other reviewers comments. My biggest issue is I did not get the 60 page booklet ! My dealer can't help
me and I like to know if anybody has the same problem. I will keep the box set despite this.
