Uriah Heep-Salisbury (Full Album 1971)

“Salisbury” is the second studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in February 1971 by Vertigo Records. It was produced by Gerry Bron.
Unlike their first album, songwriting credits for fully half of the record were attributed to Ken Hensley alone, as opposed to the debut's collaborative partnership of frontman David Byron and guitarist Mick Box. Soon after the release, drummer Keith Baker left the band, replaced by Ian Clarke (from another Vertigo band, Cressida). With Clarke, the band embarked on their first US tour, supporting Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf.

“Salisbury” este al doilea album de studio al trupei britanice de rock Uriah Heep, lansat in februarie 1971 de catre Vertigo Records. A fost produs de Gerry Bron. Spre deosebire de primul lor album, jumatate din piesele albumului sunt scrise de catre Ken Hensley singur, opus primului album in care a fost un parteneriat la scriere intre David Byron si chitaristul Mick Box. La scurt timp dupa lansare bateristul Keith Baker a parasit trupa, fiind inlocuit de catre Ian Clarke (de la alta trupa marca Vertigo, Cressida). Cu Clarke trupa s-a imbarcat pentru primul lor turneu american, cantand in deschidere la Three Dog Night si Steppenwolf.
