Uriah Heep - Covers

This is a compilation of covers that has been put together by Corrado which he describes as a "work in progress" The tracks on this compilation are of wildly differing quality but nevertheless they show just how influential Heeps music was to so many different bands and genres


 If anyone out there has any other covers that they can contribute to the "Ultimate Heep cover collection"
They would be most welcome

  1. Really a good work, thank you very much to Corrado and to Colin for this great post...
    The cover too is very nice, and i like the idea to make a work in progress of this compilation, opened to all visitors of the blog. I have 3 versions of Heep songs from prog italian band of first 70's, that were not part of my Uriah Heep pizza connections post, issued here some time ago. I would like to contribute to the Ultimate Heep Cover collection.

  2. To beginning in the contributions to the Ultimate Heep Covers Collection, i've upload three very rare Heep Covers from Italians bands of early 70's. The bands, with relative song covered and year of issue are:

    "Blue Sharks" - Gipsy - 1971
    "Ice & High Society" - Bird of Prey - 1971
    "Diego Beat and the Electric Blues Band" - Easy livin - 1973

    Badly, the third song is in bad quality for the poor registration. This is the link to the three songs:

  4. Thank you dear Colin, there are not too much Heep related albums to post on Abominog jnr blog, after all our posts. For me is the same.
    Probably is a mistake, but your link to mediafire is the same of mine, to the three old italian covers of UH, that are all from singles never reissued.

  11. Cheers to all. In the meantime, i'm still searching Heep covers. Here, from a bootleg, a version of Gipsy of 1971, from the best prog rock act of Italy, the Premiata Forneria Marconi (P.F.M.), a band very well known internationally too.
