The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, featuring frontman David Byron on the front sleeve, almost unrecognisable beneath cobwebs. It was issued in August 1970 by Mercury Records in the United States as just Uriah Heep with different sleeve artwork (a centipede type monster), and with the track "Bird of Prey" in place of "Lucy Blues". The album was reissued by Bronze Records in 1971 after the band signed to that label.http://www.uriah-heep.com/newa/heepstory4.php Kirk Blows Uriah Heep The Story: October 1970 – November 1971 Uriah Heep Official Website 4 November 2018 The album shows the band trying out various genres a mix of heavy metal and progressive rock rather than the hard rock that they performed on later albums. Tracks 3 and 8 were recorded as Spice songs prior to the band's renaming as Uriah Heep, and featured Colin Wood, session musician with The Yardbirds, on keyboards.http://www.uriah-heep.com/newa/heepstory1.php Uriah Heep The Story Kirk Blows Uriah Heep Official Website 4 November 2018 When Ken Hensley joined Spice in early 1970, the tracks were not re-recorded. Reception The album was generally panned by the mainstream critical press upon its release, although it has since been acknowledged as an early classic of the heavy metal genre. Canadian music critic Martin Popoff classifies the album as "proto-heavy metal".Popoff Martin Martin Popoff 2019 10 Albums That Changed My Life Penguin 54 9781440249082 Rolling Stone magazine's Melissa Mills began her review by saying, "If this group makes it I'll have to commit suicide.
