Uriah Heep

'Return To Fantasy'

Bronze, UK, 1975

ILPS 9335

A MASTER BLASTER of heavy progressive rock. I saw the band play live on tour promoting this album at the Hammersmith Odeon (supported by the Heavy Metal Kids) and I went straight out and bought this album the very next day! It's remained one of my favourite Heep albums, not least because of the incredible artwork and the title track that rocks like a mad amalgam of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. For me, this is where Heep started to get really interesting pushing the boundaries of their sound and with the inclusion of John Wetton on bass the possibilities were pretty much endless.

A truly great album from a time when music, especially heavy rock, was at the zenith of creativity.

Vinyl: Super nice clean and shiny condition. A couple of lone spindle marks and no other signs of any use. Some minor surface scuffs from sliding in and out of the cardboard inner sleeve but no flaws. Grades as a very nice shop fresh MINT-!

Cover: Again virtually no signs of use. Housed in a fantastic illustrated gate-fold sleeve - retains original printers bloom. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no split seams and no creases. Stiff, straight and uncrushed spine. Only defect is some extremely faint creases to spine and minute price sticker residue top left. The cover on this album is extremely tough to score in decent shape - I've been collecting Heep albums for years and have only ever seen one perfect example of this album. About as good as my personal keeper copy. Grades as near shop fresh MINT-!

Inserts: Cardboard inner lyric sleeve

Side One: ILPS 9335 A - 3U
