URIAH HEEP - LOOK AT YOURSELF 12" LP Vinyl Album

- Gt Britain Release with Thick Inner Sleeve

"Look at Yourself is the third album released by British rock band Uriah Heep. It is Uriah Heep's most straight ahead "hard rock" album, with one notable foray into progressive territory on "July Morning". The album has come to be viewed as a highpoint in the band's career, and is today regarded by many fans and critics as Uriah Heep's finest album, contended by Demons and Wizards, released the following year. This album with the original cover art on the LP came in a single sleeve with a die-cut opening on the front through which a reflective foil 'mirror' was seen. This relates the cover art directly to the album title. The idea was that of guitarist Mick Box. Not being a perfect reflecting surface, one sees a distorted image of oneself. Indeed, this theme is carried on with the band photos on the rear of the LP sleeve, which have also been distorted.

Uriah Heep's "Look At Yourself" 12" LP, with its Great Britain release, stands as a significant milestone in the band's musical journey. Released in the early 1970s, this album showcases Uriah Heep's evolution into a more pronounced hard rock sound. The production, led by Gerry Bron, adds a layer of sophistication to the album's sonic landscape.

Recorded at Lansdown Studios in London in July 1971, the album captures the essence of the vibrant music scene of that period. London, a melting pot of artistic expression, provided an ideal backdrop for the creation of this seminal work. The choice of Lansdown Studios underscores the commitment to quality production.

The catalog number, Thick Inner Sleeve, and the mention of "Made in Great Britain" collectively contribute to the unique identity of this release. The thick inner sleeve, often an overlooked detail, is an integral part of the album's physical presentation, providing additional protection and a tactile experience for the listener.

The British rock scene in the early 1970s was marked by diversity, and this album added a distinctive hard rock flavor to the musical tapestry.
