URIAH HEEP – Sea Of Light [HNE / Cherry Red Records remaster +3] HQ *Exclusive*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

There’s a perceived wisdom among some URIAH HEEP aficionados that they didn’t make a good studio album after the early 1980s. This, of course, is patent nonsense, as is proven by “Sea Of Light”, which was released in 1995 and is a strong album, full of all the qualities which have made the band so popular for so long.
This is the Hear No Evil / Cherry Red remastered and expanded edition of this 1995 album from the legendary British ‘eavy rockers. The album cover was created by legendary designer Roger Dean, who had previously painted the LP jackets for the classic Uriah Heep albums.
“Sea Of Light” was recorded by the line-up of founder member Mick Box on guitar, longtime Heep drummer Lee Kerslake, Phil Lanzon on keyboards, fronted by led vocalist Bernie Shaw and completed by former Spider from Mars Trevor Bolder on bass.
We love Bernie Shaw’s voice. He’s impressive on all the bands / projects he has been part of. Then Mick’s songwriting is really inspired for this album. And the bonus tracks are great, especially ‘She Still Calls His Name’, a midtempo recorded at 1992 demo sessions.
“Sea Of Light [HNE / Cherry Red remaster +3]” sounds great on this reissue, remastered by Rock Candy’s Andy Pearce.
