Double live album. In addition to a live version of the band’s hit “Easy Livin'”, the record includes classic live cuts such as “Sweet Lorraine”, “Sunrise”, and an extended live version of “July Morning”. While on tour in the States, Live 73 reached #13 in the UK charts. The original album packaging was a lavish affair, typical of the early-1970s. Being a 2LP set it was a gatefold sleeve, with centre-pages featuring photographs of the band members.

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Nice condition Japanese pressings from the 1970s are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Classic heavy rock double live! A fine legacy to this great British quintet and Heep's most essential album! While there are quite a few Uriah Heep studio albums that fit the "classic" bill (most notably 'Demons and Wizards', 'Sweet Freedom' and 'Very 'eavy, Very 'umble'), it is in the live arena where their performances really shine. Recorded at Birmingham Town Hall nearly five decades ago, 'Live January 1973' is undoubtedly the ultimate Heep line-up at the peak of their powers ~ musically, creatively and in popularity. Comprising of Mick Box (guitars), David Byron (lead vocals), Ken Hensley (keyboards, guitars, vocals), Lee Kerslake (drums, vocals) and New Zealander, Gary Thain (bass), this particular band was responsible for the key recordings in the extensive UH catalogue. On 'Live January 1973' they are captured perfectly on definitive versions of such gems as the storming "Easy Livin'", the heavy anthem "Gypsy" and the magnificent "July Morning" ~ Uriah Heep's piece-de-resistance. Also featured are the fantastic "Rock 'n' Roll Medley", the guitar duel rocker "Tears In My Eyes" (with Hensley on slide) and an amazing rendition of "Circle Of Hands" which highlights the brilliant bass work of Gary Thain. Sadly, by 1985 Messrs Thain and Byron had both died (due to drug and alcohol excess, respectively), although Uriah Heep continue to this day, having released some admirable recordings since their departure. 'Live January 1973' is a fine legacy to this great British quintet and is Heep's most essential album ~ a heavy rock double live classic!!!
