Slipcase. Castle.Reviews:
''Salisbury'' is the second album released by British rock band Uriah Heep.
More squarely in the progressive rock genre than their debut album from the previous year, it featured their first foray into large–scale composition, with the 16–minute title track featuring a 24–piece orchestra. It also includes the largely acoustic ballad "Lady In Black."
Unlike their first album, this album features more songwriting from Ken Hensley, as opposed to the Lennon/McCartney or Page/Plant style writing credits of Box/Byron on the First Album. It also broke ground in that most of his compositions are written with no other person in the writing credits.
The album was originally released on the Vertigo label, as had been the band's debut ''Very 'eavy... Very 'umble'', but both were soon re-released when the band signed to Bronze for their third album.
The connection of the artwork to the title is readily explained. Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, is an Army training-area. On the front of the album sleeve is a British Chieftain tank. The original LP release was a gatefold-sleeve, with a b/w picture inside of a British tank of the First World War, over which were printed Hensley's comments on each track. Later reissues would be in a single sleeve. - Wikipedia
