In the frosty depths of December 1987, the iconic rock band Uriah Heep embarked on a groundbreaking journey, defying political boundaries and bridging the gap between East and West. Amidst the sub-zero temperatures and snow-covered landscapes of Moscow, Uriah Heep set the stage for a historic event, becoming the first Western rock band to perform in the Soviet Union. The initiative behind these landmark concerts was spearheaded by Laszlo Hegedus, in collaboration with Multimedia Organisation Europe and Goskonsert in Moscow. The cultural exchange marked a significant moment in music history, breaking down barriers and fostering a sense of unity through the universal language of rock and roll. The live recording, immortalized in the 12" LP Vinyl Album titled "Live in Moscow," captures the essence of this unparalleled musical diplomacy. The gatefold cover design, adorned with captivating artwork and photos on the inside pages, mirrors the fusion of artistic expression and cross-cultural collaboration that defined the era. The engineering prowess behind the live recording was entrusted to Janos Mihaly and Gabor Hegedus, who skillfully captured the energy and atmosphere of Uriah Heep's performances at the Olympisku Stadium in Moscow. The result is a sonic journey that transcends time, allowing listeners to experience the raw emotion and electrifying moments of those historic concerts. The mixing process, conducted at PRT Studios in London between April 25 and May 8, 1988, polished the live recordings into a masterpiece that stands as a testament to the band's musical prowess and the significance of this cultural exchange.
