Uriah Heep - The Magician's Birthday

Following the meteoric success of their previous release ‘Demons And Wizards’ that firmly cemented Heep’s legendary status ‘The Magician’s Birthday’ did not disappoint. In fact, it carried on from where the previous album left off. Selling 2.5 million copies worldwide and once again easily reaching the Top 50 in the UK, US, Australia and topping the charts in Finland.

‘Look At Yourself’, ‘Demons And Wizards’ and ‘The Magician’s Birthday’ were originally released in 1971 and 1972. Fast forward 46 years, these albums still remains timeless classics. Painstakingly remastered by Andy Pearce these 2CD sets also include previously unreleased alternative mixes that excite, reignite and rejuvenate.

There are also extensive liner notes penned by best-selling author Joel McIver which tell the story of the band’s ascent to the very top and are accompanied by new and revealing accounts of the time from Mick Box and Ken Hensley.
