On this day, 22 October 1971, rock band Uriah Heep played Cardiff University on their Look At Yourself tour.
The band had just released their third album Look At Yourself, the last Uriah Heep album to feature founding member and bassist Paul Newton.
Characterized as heavy metal and progressive rock, the album came to be viewed as a high point in the band's career and is regarded by many fans and critics as one of Uriah Heep's finest albums, along with Demons and Wizards, released the following year.
The title track and "July Morning" were released as singles in the UK and North America in 1971 and 1973, respectively.
The original cover art on the LP featured a single sleeve with a die-cut opening on the front through which a reflective foil "mirror" was seen, conveying a distorted image of the person viewing it. The idea, by guitarist Mick Box, was for the cover to directly reflect the album title, and this theme is carried through the band photos on the rear of the LP sleeve, which have also been distorted. The LP itself was housed in a heavy-duty inner card, complete with lyrics.
