The
BRITISH LIVE PERFORMANCE SERIES–an eclectic collection of artists, all
recorded live in the U.K.–is excited to announce three new releases set for
October 30: BELINDA CARLISLE, JOE JACKSON and
URIAH HEEP. The
Guitar World website broke the news with an exclusive preview of Uriah Heep, which you can listen to

RICK WAKEMAN, which were released September 18, all on Los Angeles-based
RAINMAN RECORDS. Check out an exclusive Glen Campbell track on

They were able to deliver a terse, muscular yet understated backing to frame Jackson’s intelligently ironic lyrics.
Heavy rockers Uriah Heep broke onto the world stage in 1972 with the ‘Demons & Wizards’ LP and never looked back. They stand with Deep Purple as foundation-stones of the British rock tradition, having influenced generations of bands including Queen. Founded in the late Sixties as Spice, they rock on today with irrepressible guitarist/founder Mick Box still at the helm. This show was filmed in November 1989 for the UK TV show “Bedrock” and captures their second classic line-up at the peak of its collective powers. In the immortal phrase founder Mick Box is so fond of, ”Appy Days’…
