Uriah Heep - The Magician& Birthday (1972). Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.

The Magician's Birthday is the fifth album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in November 1972 by Bronze Records in the UK and Mercury Records in the US. The concept was "based loosely on a short story" written by keyboardist Ken Hensley in June and July 1972. The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, the front designed again by Roger Dean. The inner fold had pictures of the band, with the album itself housed in a liner on which were printed the lyrics.

The remainder of the album divides its time between punchy rockers and spacy balladry before climaxing with another prog-inflected epic.
