ACCESS ALL AREAS Series.
Access All Areas Series is an outstanding new offering featuring a wide range of the world's greatest and most influential artists performing full-band hit sets from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The concerts were originally recorded for broadcast on ITV and released here for the first time. The high-quality recordings have been remastered and are presented on both DVD and audio CD in a deluxe package, enhanced with liner notes, new interviews, photos and memorabilia. Uriah Heep were pioneers in taking music to the rock-starved former Iron Curtain countries. And where better to start than in the heart of the Soviet Union? The band wowed Moscow’s Olympic Stadium in December 1987, playing to 180,000 people over ten consecutive nights and proving Mick Box’s merry men, still active today, rank alongside Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath as global hard-rock trailblazers. This live album was released first time in summer of 1988 and was the first ever release by the Bolder-Box-Kerslake-Lanzon-Shaw line-up. Uriah Heep became the first Rock band from the West to perform there. The event was also filmed and released on DVD many years later. The most interesting songs are the three songs that are not included on any of the band's studio albums. These are ''Pacific Highway'', ''Corina'', and ''Mr. Majestic''. The latter is particularly interesting as it features lead vocals by Phil Lanzon, the band's new keyboard player at the time and who wrote the song. ''Pacific Highway'' and ''Corina'', by contrast, are rather typical 80's Uriah Heep numbers and would have fitted well on Raging Silence, the first studio release by this line-up of the band. You'll be enjoy this live album, though the video version is better. And of course you have to be a pretty major fan to invest in both. This CD+DVD version was released on 5th September 2014 by Edsel Records.
PERSONNEL: Mick Box - guitars, vocals; Lee Kerslake - drums, vocals; Trevor Bolder - bass, vocals; Phil Lanzon - keyboards, vocals; Bernie Shaw - lead vocals.
Uriah Heep broke the Iron Curtain. All the recording looks as "anti-matrioshka". Russians well-known all around the world by producing and selling their "matrioshkas" to any foreign tourist at any possibility. So, Uriah Heep made their "matrioshka" - old product packed in new paper with fashionable at a time symbols on it. Fully listenable, fully watchable release. This line-up had no studio album to promote and maybe was less risky to record a live album than it would have in the West Europe. It was not known at the time, but this line-up will be the longest one in the band history. Over fifteen years! Some of the legendary tracks are played here, and quite well I must say. The remastered version offers an extra twenty-three minutes of music to the Heep fans. This live album is one of the best one of the band since the fabulous Live 1973, which will remain their best ever. The message here was loud and clear. This new line up has the confidence, indeed the audacity, to take the band's signature track and stamp their own identity upon it in no uncertain terms. Fans of the band received the reassurance they so desperately sought, that the spirit of Uriah Heep was very much alive and indeed thriving. If you are a Heep-mania, you should have this CD as a collection and comparison to other live CDs. Not every single release of Heep provides all excellent tracks, exception to their first four or five albums, but in every album ther must be one, at least, really stand-out track. Whatever the case... Keep on proggin'!
