 STILL SEARCHING December 6, 2008
for their own sound heep came up with a decent 2nd album,imagine the hysteria if floyd or purple had created the title track,lady in black never ceases to bring a feel good moment and bird of prey always gets a little smile of irony at the thought of Queen always being credited with the operatic vocals being unique to them

i totally agree with all the above,i think this album is a classic and makes you feel great,which to me is what music is all about,creating mood, lady in black will be played at my funeral,beautiful.
Album number two August 9, 2008
I have no idea why but until getting this on cd a few months ago, I have never heard it. so to put the record straight I find myself pleasantly suprised! to think Deep Purple had numerous attempts to get it right. Heep seem to get it on from the word go, did the music press not filter it, and undecided wrote it off ( there are a few rocky jazzy tinged numbers ). or were the press just out to slag a band that the people would love ?. album 2 even with an orchestra on the title track is a mature and bold set of good ideas.
Heep's second offering May 31, 2008

I must correct the above, this was actually Uriah Heep's second album coming after "Very 'eavy, very 'umble" and before "Look at yourself". Saw them perform "Salisbury" live in 1970 before they recorded it, amazing piece of music. David Byron had an amazing voice. Was slightly disappointed when they added the strings and brass on the record, but have grown to love it. Keep looking for a live version, must be one out there somewhere.
One of their best, if not like the rest November 12, 2007

Their second album (I always thought, though some people refer to it as their third) and much less commercially successful than both its preceding debut, Very `Eavy, Very `Umble (which I never rated) and its successor Look At Yourself (which I most assuredly do). However, apparently Lady In Black to close S.1 was released as a single and scored quite a hit in Germany, if not in the UK.
That aside, Salisbury was always one of my favourite Heep albums, particularly The Park and the title suite, which was a great blend of rock and jazz influences with a full orchestra ~ rather better, in my opinion, than Deep Purple's attempt at much the same thing with their Live at the Albert Hall album from a year earlier. The jazz undercurrent to this album develops fully in the title suite, which I think is why it caught my ear before I ever consciously realised I liked jazz. Apart from that, the whole thing's darned good anyway yet, due to commercial pressures I imagine, they never did another remotely like it, at least not like the title suite.
Digitally remastered this has come up wonderfully fresh as well, brilliantly so, in fact, given the vintage. The original vinyl issue (which I still have) was thick and dynamically compressed, whilst the first CD reissue was unlistenably bright and steely. The cover pic of a Chieftain tank on manoeuvres was always great too (though evidently not everyone agrees and for the current issue it seems to have been completely emasculated). But musically, this remains one of my all time faves. The more I listen to it the more I love it.
