BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Uriah Heep is a prog/hard rock band that was founded in 1969 in London, UK. They started out under a different name and released a 7" single in 1968. Since the beginning, the only member who has remained with the band is guitarist Mick Box.
With their unique blend of progressive and hard rock, Uriah Heep has become an influential force in the music industry. Their powerful sound and dynamic performances have captivated audiences around the world.
Over the years, Uriah Heep has released numerous albums and achieved great success with hits like "Easy Livin'" and "Lady in Black." Their music continues to resonate with fans old and new, showcasing their enduring talent and creativity.

With their third release (and second album of 1971), Salisbury, Uriah Heep issued their first real ambitious work. While their first couple of albums (Uriah Heep and Look at Yourself) were cut from the same monolithic blues-metal cloth as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, it was with Salisbury that David Byron and co. let their admiration of progressive rock seep in—most notably on the album closing, over 16-minute title track, which featured a 26-piece orchestra. elsewhere on the album, the songs are shorter and more conventional, such as the acoustic ballad "Lady in Black" and the jazzy track "The Park".
