65 y/o here. This original album came with a pair of glasses, 2 lenses, one red, one blue, simple plastic, that made the album cover 3-D. No shit, it was great. Look it up. Rock on!
As much as I love this version, at this tempo, I will always believe the live version from the black double album was the ultimate version. That awesome stinger ending, with Mick Box’s wah-wah pedal screaming away, was magic. Nothing better!
I first discovered Uriah Heep in 2010 working at a lumberyard with this vietnam vet. He told me to meet him at his jeep during lunchbreak. I though surely no good will come of this. But lo and behold he had this album in the stereo and played this track for me. Its 14 years later and hes been gone for 10, but this track always brings me back to that summer day at the lumberyard
I first discovered Uriah Heep in 1970 when I was 18. I first bought the single Gypsy/Real Turned On and almost immediately after that I bought their first album (North American version) during 1970.
The lady who ran the record store where I got the album The Best of Uriah Heep in 1979 was actually my first grade teacher's daughter and I didn't even know it until we were talking which is actually important because the first grade teacher taught me how to read, among other things.
Hey, at 3:03 you can hear Lee Kerslake play the fill roll that ended up becoming the intro to "Over the Mountain" on Ozzy's second album --- you know, 10 years before Franki Banali claimed to have taught it to him 😂😂😂
I'm French and as you might now, Lorraine is a Region in eastern France, which in the 70's was mostly famous for its heavy steel industry, coal mines etc. and as I was 13 at the time I discovered Uriah Heep and loved that song, i always wondered why the band found Lorraine so sweet... Later, I learned English and also discovered that Lorraine had much more to offer than just factories and power plants.. ( which anyway since that time almost fully disappeared).
I started college last year, and I would listen to this song every morning during my commute to my college campus. It's been my favorite song since I first heard it on the radio.
My dad bought this album brand new in 1972, played it once, then put it away and never looked at it again until he gave it to me about a decade later. I've loved it ever since -- and this is my favorite cut from the record. As an aside, I believe this is the only other Roger Dean album cover aside from all those he did for Yes throughout the 70s.
My favorite Uriah Heap, song! They did a decent job on the remaster. I still have my original Uriah Heap "Demons and Wizards" Album, mint condition and I refuse to part with it! 💕
I have this album at home 🏡 in SW FLORIDA it was in a box 📦 stored Long term at family home ( mom's) along with Sabath, Brothers and Sisters. Etc. I had to purchase a new turntable 😂❤
in keyboard solo section, two Minimoogs recorded separately in left and right channel - it sounds great in stereo. Killer bass part too, quite sophisticated

Dude seriously???....wow!!.. I'm sure it was bad ass.🤘😎
😊61 y/o here. I got album (Mercury/Bronze) The Best of Uriah Heep in summer of 1979.
Aww I'm 65 years old too and remember this group and their music so well too.
I can't think of any era that had better music than the 70s did. I love it and I always will.

Agreed. Uriah Heep had a power and electricity in concert that was never really captured on their studio recordings.

I LOVE this song
I just turned 60, do the math, and I remember this song from the 70s, from my mom. Love It!!!!!!!
I'm 63. My friends and I wore my friend's copy of this album out one summer!
😂just turn 61 and still playing every chance🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Cool me too - in a couple weeks! And my name is Lorraine! 😃
I thank this band was way ahead of the time in this decade70s 4:16 4:16
I just lost my step father last night due to a heart attack and this was his favorite song. R.I.P. Carl
Sorry for your loss that's terrible.
Oooooooooohhhhhh So sorry for your loss
I actually heard this song on the radio the other day. I was mesmerized and thought back to when radio was so good.
I'm lucky to have lived through this decade. Born in the early 60s my ears absorbed greatness❤❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏🙏

My first rock concert..... August 1974.... Pittsburgh Civic arena..... A concert I'll never forget
Mine too 1974 San Diego Sports Arena with Rory Gallagher and Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
The vocals fit the music like a glove
My GOD this song brings back some memories!! They just don't make music like this anymore.
I don't know why this band wasn't popular in us
Popular in us in
Porque es demasiado bueno para este mundo

I'm infatuated with French culture especially the women.
Sweet synthesizer waves. Hensley is a genius of arrangement. Killer bass too
The bass is the song!
@@keithgomarac3860 Gary Thain on bass. There was no one like him.
Absolutely true. Thains flud, melodic, ‘singing’ bass Lines enhance hensley’s work wonderfully💯💯💯💯💯
One of the BEST
The heep lives forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Обожаю Uriah Heep!
Эх, юность моя...
M A G I C !!!!!!...............
Woke up humming this, don't know why 😂
Awesome!!

Mr. Dean did many covers by different groups. Awesome artist.
Sweet sound of a magical band , Great 🌪️💕
It's ironic you're name is Emanuele: I thought this track to be reminiscent of a cheap 70's cannibal movie, like Emanuelle in the Jungle!
Favorite Heep song❤
Easy living too
My favorite Uriah Heap, song! They did a decent job on the remaster. I still have my original Uriah Heap "Demons and Wizards" Album, mint condition and I refuse to part with it! 💕
I was madly in love with a sweet Lorraine at high school ❤
but you're a lorraine?
I saw them live in 1973 and this song has always been my favorite!
I have this album at home 🏡 in SW FLORIDA it was in a box 📦 stored Long term at family home ( mom's) along with Sabath, Brothers and Sisters. Etc. I had to purchase a new turntable 😂❤

Love it!
Saw them in 1976
unusual keyboards here nice bass
its a gem of as song
in keyboard solo section, two Minimoogs recorded separately in left and right channel - it sounds great in stereo. Killer bass part too, quite sophisticated
Whoever remastered this absolute genius song should have TURNED THE GODDAMN SYNTH DOWN !!!!!!!!!
l know some lorraines dont like this song, but l do,
Enter Ken Hensley on funny sounding keyboard in 1972
And very unfortunately multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ken Hensley has recently died 😭😭😭
Those firsts seconds.....Beneath the synth waves is hiding....
John Lennon stole this melody for Woman!!!
Erdekes. Ez nem szol jol! Pedig azt irjak, hogy remasteres. Alig hallani a basszusgitart.
Urmom was kool my mom liked btoa nd everly brosand tom jones
Good Old Fashioned Boneing Music LOL
