- Breaking News!!! The new set available in the "Inside The Music" Series...
INSIDE URIAH HEEP: THE HENSLEY YEARS - A 2 DVD and Book Set!
Here at last, the long awaited critical guide to Uriah Heep from 1970-1980, the crucial years when Ken Hensley was in the band. In his first candid interview for 25 years Ken gives a frank and revealing account which pulls no punches. We reveal the on and off stage factors which shaped the creation of the music. In addition we also hear the views of Mick Box, Lee Kerslake, Roger Dean, John Wetton, John Lawton, Trevor Bolder, Chris Slade and a team of leading critics and reviewers. This is required viewing for every Heep fan. Disc 1 features an in depth study of the music of Uriah Heep from "Very 'Eavy... Very 'Umble" to "High And Mighty". Including rare radio broadcasts and archive footage from the early days right through to the end of the Byron era, including new footage from the 1976 PinkPop festival. Disc 2 takes up the story from the arrival of John Lawton and Trevor Bolder through to the departure of Ken Hensley following the ill-fated "Conquest" album. Rare footage featured on DVD for the first time includes the only known film of the "Firefly" tour and the only UK television appearances of the Lawton line up and the only known TV performance by the Sloman line up!
