"Living The Dream" was released in September 2018 via Frontiers Music Srl. And the record company, they come in and allow us to go in and record and do that, so you have to play ball with them." But sometimes your hands are tied for a reason. "In today's market, let's put it this way, if we play a song on stage, before I've got the jeans off and showered and poured a drink, it's recorded and up on YouTube and Facebook and everything else… So it's highly unlikely - for those reasons. "We'd not be allowed to by the record company, as much as we would be tempted," he explained.
This past February, Box told Danny Stoakes that URIAH HEEP won't play any new songs on tour before the upcoming album is released. So we don't really have a say in it, but they'll find a place to release it when they feel best. "So they'll release it when they feel that with their investment they'll get the best reward - is a nice way of putting it, I guess. "As you well know, we're in the music business, and we do the music and they care of that side," he continued. We're with a company called Silver Lining, and it's our first album with them. Then that'll get presented to the record company and, to be honest, it'll be decided by them. Regarding when fans can expect to see the new URIAH HEEP album released, Box said: "At the moment, we're in the process of choosing titles, choosing the artwork and all those sort of things. It's got all the elements that HEEP's known for and all the musicality and the lyrics and everything else. So to get an album like that 50 years on and get those sort of accolades, we kept with the same team. We used Jay Ruston, the producer that produced the last album, 'Living The Dream', which, for us, was marvelous because it was revered by both the media, the press as well as the fans and also is one of the best of our career. "At the moment, we've recorded a new album," he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
However, in 2010, the album finally saw a release in expanded and remastered format, in time for its 25th anniversary, thus finally ending Sanctuary's remaster-series.Īfter this Uriah Heep took an extended break from the recording studio, and their next album would not appear until 1989.During an appearance on the "In The Trenches With Ryan Roxie" video podcast, URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box spoke about the progress of the recording sessions for the legendary progressive rockers' 26th LP. When the Essential remasters were expanded and reissued in the early 2000s by Sanctuary, Equator had to be passed over once again. The album ultimately had a CD release in 1999, with no bonus material whatsoever. This was because Sony/CBS wanted what was considered an extortionate sum for the rights. When the Heep back catalogue was issued on CD in the early 1990s by Castle and then remastered, with bonus tracks, in the mid-to-late 1990s by Essential, Equator was conspicuous by its absence.
The tour programme would be Heep's last in the UK until the Wake the Sleeper tour, which began in 2008. Equator was also the last Uriah Heep album to feature vocalist Peter Goalby & keyboardist John Sinclair. The band also had a new record label, Portrait Records, a subsidiary of CBS. It marked the studio return of bassist Trevor Bolder, who had rejoined the band for the Head First tour.
Equator was the sixteenth album released by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in 1985.
