URIAH HEEP -precursors of Hard Rock, Heavy Rock and Progressive Rock- celebrate their 50 years in Rock with '50 YEARS IN ROCK '-Deluxe Boxset-



On October 30, 2020, BMG will publish the Deluxe Boxset: '50 Years in Rock 'by Uriah Heep.



British Hard Rock legends Uriah Heep are one of Rock's “Big Four” bands, along with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and without a doubt one of the most original bands both musically and lyrically to emerge from Heavy. Rock born in the 70s.


This bright and ambitious super luxury box celebrates Uriah Heep's mind-blowing musical career, created by the band itself and overseen by the band's founders Mick Box, Ken Hensley, Paul Newton and Lee Kerslake.



The spectacularly presented '50 Years in Rock 'box contains 23 albums on CD, including 4 CDs with compilations of their greatest songs by the four original members. This set also includes the vinyl LP 'The Magician's Birthday', remastered by renowned engineer Andy Pearce (Black Sabbath, Emerson Lake & Palmer or Lou Reed), with new illustrations reimagined from the original by Roger Dean, two new poster covers and a 64-page book with oddities drawn from the band's personal archives.

“This 50th anniversary box fills me with immense pride and takes me to review the great musical journey that I could never have imagined. We are still on this magical adventure, but reaching our 50th anniversary is something to be proud of and an amazing achievement. It has been a roller coaster that continues to this day, so we are proudly celebrating our 50th anniversary with this impressive box that the great team at BMG has worked very hard to make. We remember all the wonderful musicians, including those in rock n 'roll heaven, who have been a part of this fantastic journey. Happy days! "Exclaims Mick Box.



“Sitting here just days away from my 75th birthday, it's easy for me to go back 50 years when Mick, David, Gary, Lee and I really knew we were into something big and amazing.

What makes it even easier is the incredible box that BMG has put together to celebrate this great milestone. The box is a perfect tribute to a band that accomplished what so few have accomplished. Thanks to Mick and the guys who keep the legend alive and of course to all of our fans who made it possible. My most sincere and humble thanks to all ”. - Ken Hensley.
