Customer Reviews:
Overly Redundant.......2007-03-05
I love the early Uriah Heep material as much as the next mid-Boomer, but "Salisbury" and "Very 'eavy, Very 'umble" would be an extremely redundant combination to purchase. If one is not familiar with U. Heep, better to pair either of these early recordings with a "Best of U. Heep" or one featuring the current U. Heep lineup of musicians.
The album art for "Very 'eavy, Very 'umble" was actually used on the U.S. release of "Salisbury" (or I have my vinyl LPs in the wrong sleeves, but I think not). The cobweb face guy was also projected onto the drum kit's double bass drum heads for an interesting lighting effect.
Unless one is an extreme U. Heep fan, either of these early albums would be a great investment; either, but not both together.

Customer Reviews:
Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble - Their Debut.......2004-06-16
Released in June 1970.
DAVID BYRON - Lead Vocals
KEN HENSLEY - Organ, Slide Guitar, Mellotron, Piano and Vocals
MICK BOX - Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals
PAUL NEWTON - Bass Guitar, Vocals
OLLIE OLSSON - Drums, Percussion
Most of the album was written by the guitarist Mick Box, and the sadly underrated legend David Byron. They did this job very well!
My opinions about these songs:
GYPSY - A timeless classic. Not the first hard rock song, but
with this song they were the pioneers of this sound. Anyway a
great track from the beginning to the end: endless riffs,
organ playing at the middle of the song, screaming guitar solo,
killer ending. 5/5
WALKING IN YOUR SHADOW - Altough not a classic, a good riff
and some entertaining vocals by Byron. Some rhythmical & musical
change in the middle, which is very fine. 4/5
COME AWAY MELINDA - A nice ballad. The vocals again top notch.
Great to hear this side of the band sometimes. 4/5
LUCY BLUES - This is the third song in the original EUROPEAN
version (the american version had a different song, titled
'BIRD OF PREY' - this has got slightly different lyrics, but a
marvelous rocker 5/5). A decent blues song 3/5.
DREAMMARE - Now this is a damn good rocker in the Heep way,
it should be a better known song, and played live. Hensley's
organ kicks butt! A predecessor of the forthcoming Heep sound.
A forgotten early gem. 4.5/5
REAL TURNED ON - At this point, Ken Hensley uses slide guitar,
and for a good reason. Great blues-rock again from the band.
4/5
I'LL KEEP ON TRYING - Musical changes makes this song so
precious, especially the middle part: beautiful. 4.5/5
WAKE UP (SET YOUR SIGHTS) - The band easily perform a slightly
jazzy song. The second part is a slower, dreamy sequence. 4/5
I highly recommend you to buy the debut of this great, highly underrated band.

Customer Reviews:
Shadowed by Deep P. and Led Z. ? Absolutely not !!!.......2004-12-21
Most of us have overlooked this group on behalf of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and so on. What a great mistake:they were really superb and the first releases true masterpieces.
This the first album and it' s surprisingly hard: guitar solo on "I'll keep on trying" is something you don't have to miss.
Mick Box shows his high technique and a new way of playing guitar; and what about the vocalist: one of the best ever, with such a pure voice , switching from hard songs to melodical ones without any problem.
So buy it and discover UH: this one and the following 4/5 albums are really milestones oif Hard and Heavy.
HEEP is good!.......2002-03-03
This album was released in 1969, together with Zeppelin, purple, Sabbath. Uriah Heep started their debut.
The songs here are classic masterpieces in their early 70's hey day, check out them in the first album like gypsy, dreammare, I'll keep on trying, Come away melinda etc......what a goldies collection it is! Heep is also good as Led Zeppelin, Purple, Black Sabbath in the 70's rock classic era.
Long time ago the American journalist at the rolling stone magazine Melissa Mills wrote that I will rather to commit suicide than listening to this band.
Yes Melissa Mills was a fool poor journalist,....she didn't know how good this band is!
In fact that URIAH HEEP sold out their albums/recordings worldwide 30 million albums until today!! well you know this now,....Is Uriah Heep still a bad group ??? you should answer it by your selves! This band is a goldies...
Beginn.......2001-11-24
Noch nicht so ausgereift wie die folgenden Platten, hat aber gute Momente. "Gypsy" gefällt mir nicht. Anspieltips "walking in your shadow", "Melinda" "Dreammare", die Bonus Tracks sind interessant. Seinen kreativen wie kommerziellen Frühling sollte die Gruppe bald mit "Salisbury" haben. Außerdem anschaffenswert: "Look at yourself", "Demons and Wizards" und "Magicians Birthday". Mit diesem cover schuf sich Uriah Heep ein dämonisches Image. Auf dem Cover ist übrigens David Byron abgebildet, der danach die Spinnweben lange nicht aus seinen Haaren entfernen konnte. Darauf wäre ich vor 28 Jahren nicht gekommen Thomas Richter
Good for a start.......2001-07-28
This was only the beginning. I don't think this album deserves 3 stars. I 'd like to put 2,5 if there was the option. It has eight songs (not considering bonus tracks), but only four of them are good, in my opinion. Now, let's take a look (at the good ones): 1. Gypsy: I don't know what to say about this track, I don't simply like it. I think that it's one of the best classic rock tracks of all seasons. Very 'eavy.. that's what became Heavy Metal some years later. I never considered it boring, no matter how many times I listened to it. This is a diamond. 3. Come Away Melinda: A slow track, very emotional. It can touch your soul. Pay some attention to the lyrics, they are really good. A classic Heep song. 4. Lucy Blues: A blues track. I consider blues music very good; you can express your feelings in a very special way. This is simply a blues track, nothing more and nothing less. 7. I'll Keep On Trying: This song reminds me of another great classic rock group, Led Zeppelin. And that's enough. The other tracks (Walking In Your Shadow, Dreammare, Real Turned On, Wake Up) are not really bad. But I think they could be better. Of course, you can't ignore that it's a debut album and it can't be perfect. It's an experiment.. the best will follow.
Motts in a Heep.......2001-02-12
When this wonderful album was first released in June 1970, it was reviewed by the very influential Rolling Stone magazine in an appalling manner, I will briefly quote from the beginning of that review. "If this group makes it I'll have to commit suicide. From the first note you know you don't want to hear anymore. Uriah Heep is watered down tenth-rate Jethro Tull, only even more boring and inane". One wonders how this unnamed journalist feels, now that Uriah Heep are celebrating 30 years in the business & over 100, million album sales, probably walking very gingerly round sharp objects, and reviewing Mozart. No such rash judgement from this dog though, as I've always rated this album very highly since buying it for it's cover alone having never heard the music before. Very'Eavy Very'Umble charges in with opening belter & all time Heep favorite "Gypsy" here in it's original 6 minute 55 second version before it was drawn out too nearly 20 minutes in the stage show to allow lead guitarist Mick Box & keyboard Wizard Ken Hensley to stretch out, or just possibly so they could sort their hair out, this was the seventies remember. But the star of the album has to be lead vocalist Dave Byron. In the world of heavy rock, nobody had a voice with such range, just listen to him pleading on "Come away Melinada" or riding the magic carpet ride of Dreamscape. Although Uriah Heep are still going strong, the line up has never been stable (they went through 3 drummers just trying to get this album down) Mick Box (still looking like one of the wacky characters from W.W.F) leads the band today after 4 lead vocalists, 5 keyboard players, & umpteen bassists & drummers, but last years offering charmingly titled "Sonic Origano" was one of the years best Prog / Rock master pieces. Mott the Dog.
