Uriah Heep - Sweet Freedom (1973)


Uriah Heep is an English rock band, formed in December 1969 when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist Ken Hensley (previously a member of The Gods and Toe Fat) to join Spice, a band signed to his own Bronze Records label.
They were sometimes jokingly referred to as "The Beach Boys of heavy metal" for their melodic songs, and trademark multi-part harmony backing vocals, although their music draws on diverse influences including progressive rock, hard rock, heavy metal, jazz, and even country on occasion.
Sweet Freedom is the sixth studio album released by British rock band Uriah Heep.
The original vinyl release was as a gatefold-sleeve, reproducing the lyrics within. There was also a central page with a photograph of each band member.
It was the first album of Uriah Heep's to be released by Warner Bros. Records in the USA.
Arguably the best-known song from Sweet Freedom is "Stealin' ". On the Billboard charts, Sweet Freedom was received #33 in the U.S., and #18 in the UK
Sweet Freedom was certified Gold by the RIAA on March 5, 1974.
