Celebration – Forty Years of Rock is an album by British rock band
Uriah Heep. It mainly features rerecorded classics – which, said
bassistTrevor Bolder, "chose themselves, really. The likes of '
Sunrise', '
Gypsy' and '
Look at Yourself' are songs we still play today. We just went in and redid them. [Drummer]
Russell [Gilbrook] is a bit of an animal, so they sound livelier than ever."[2]
Two tracks were written specifically for this release: 'Only Human' ("A bit of an
'80s vibe," said Bolder) and 'Corridors of Madness'. A double special edition, in
digipak format, features a live DVD recorded at the
Sweden Rock Festival. A collector's edition adds a vinyl
single; its two songs also recorded at the Sweden Rock Festival, and not included on the DVD.
Celebration was released in most European territories on 6 October 2009; on 26 October 2009 in the UK; and approximately one month later in the United States.
In 2015, keyboardist
Phil Lanzon released a music video for "Corridors of Madness", featuring the footage filmed on tour in Israel and the United States.[3]
