Uriah Heep has been responsible for the most elevated and intelligent use of vocals in a heavy metal context amongst the major bands inventing the genre in the 1970s. Across 25 studio albums, along with myriad live releases and compilations, Uriah Heep has sold 45 million records worldwide and performed over 4,000 shows in 60 countries. Heep was so prolific in producing rock anthems – five albums between 1970 and 1974 – that a “Best Of” album was released in 1975. It hit the Top Three in twenty countries and featured such classics as “Gypsy”, “Lady in Black”, “July Morning”, “The Wizard”, “Easy Livin’”, “Sweet Lorraine” and “Stealin’”.
