”THE URIAH HEEP BOX”

All official releases 2008 - 2011 from the current line-up

Tapio Minkkinen

The Story behind:

This box contains all releases from the current line-up that are in my possision (there are suprisingly a lot actually).

All together 10 single CD's, 6 double CD's, 1 CD + DVD, 1 CD + 7" vinyl, 2 vinyl LP's, 1 poster and tour program.

The story behing this box is that back in April when I was making preparations for the Into The Wild listening party in Helsinki I had just bought a box set from one Finnish band. I had taken the CD, LP, DVD, shirt and whatever it contained out and looking at the big empty box an idea came to my head. I thought it would be cool to put the Into The Wild CD for display at the party inside a box like this with a Heep theme.

So I went to Ioannis website where he had put images of the artwork, copied some of them and printed some details of it to adhesive paper and started working with scissors, cutter, tape, glue and ruler and I think the end result looks pretty cool.

It served its purpose well at the listening party and afterwards I thought I'd try to see how many Heep releases I could fit inside and quite conveniently it was just enough for all that I have from the current line-up - there’s quite a lot actually released within the four years that this line-up has been together. When Live In Brisbane Australia 2011 and Live In Armenia are released in Septemner, there will probably be difficulties in fitting them also in.
