Wake up: The Singles Collection

Performer: Uriah Heep
Distributor: City Hall

Notes: Wake Up: The Singles Collection contains songs originally recorded by Uriah Heep on Mercury in the '70s, including "Gypsy," "Look at Yourself," and "July Morning." This set can only be recommended to die-hard fans who want to collect the facsimile picture sleeves included here in miniature. Most listeners will want to stick with the band's albums recorded in its prime: Demons and Wizards, Look at Yourself, and The Magician's Birthday. ~ Al Campbell

Despite a Spinal Tap-like inability to secure a drummer, British band Uriah Heep has continued to roll with the punches since 1969. Their eclectic approach to rock folds Tolkeinian dragons-and-dwarves imagery into grand musical themes that draw on prog, metal, acid rock, and pastoral folk. The band were fairly popular in the U.K. in the '70s, and their albums charted respectably in the U.S. during this time as well. As the musical landscape shifted in the later '70s, the band's popularity died down, but they have continued to release albums (their live discography is rather lengthy) and tour, and remain popular in Eastern Europe and Japan.
