Downunda...

Taken from rear: "At last we are going to make it to the place where it's sunny at Christmas. After nearly five years running round the world, the thrill of going to a country for the first time is back as we prepare for our Australian trip. This album is only going to be released to you, to commemorate the visit, but it's one we enjoy because it's a package of our short (so far) but happy history. Hearing songs like "Gypsy" and "High Priestess" after so long was a gas but the secret, I think, is in the complete package. The songs all represent stages our music has gone through up until the recent past and whilst some of you will miss your particular "favourites", the selection, I think, traces out steps in an interesting way. It has become, perhaps, your own "private" collection of "Heep Sounds" and we hope, naturally, that you will enjoy it, and those special concerts in November. We all send our love. Ken Hensley October 1974." Gatefold sleeve Title of record listed as "Uriah Heep Downunda" on labels. This is the 1st pressing with the silver 'ape to man' label design. The brown was a second pressing.
