Wymer Publishing Uriah Heep A Visual Biography Martin Popoff With Kevin Julie on images Publication date: 16th April 2021 RRP: £59.99 ISBN: 978-1-912782-56-7 Hardback: 297 x 210mm, 240pp. The publication of Martin Popoff’s Uriah Heep: A Visual Biography is something of a bitter‐sweet I event given the recent news. Following the very sad loss of Lee Kerslake in September 2020, Popoff — having interviewed various band members over the past few years — was all set to conduct another interview with Ken Hensley in mid‐ November when the tragic news of Ken’s sudden departure reached Heep fans around the world. Undeterred, the decision that had already been made to immortalise Uriah Heep with a comprehensive visual biography remained. RELEASE Popoff’s celebrated and detailed timeline takes us through more than fifty years of massive rock history from this much‐loved band. From the early days with legendary front man David Byron, through the John Lawton years; the John Sloman and Pete Goalby fronted periods and from 1986 with Bernie Shaw taking centre stage; all eras are comprehensively covered. This differs from previous Uriah Heep books with the inclusion of so many previously unpublished photos, along with rare memorabilia and artefacts that makes this an indispensable addition to the vast Uriah Heep catalogue.
