It looked a bit different in the very early episodes, but for most VHUS listeners, our unofficial logo is in fact the face of David Byron from URIAH HEEP proto-prog classic debut album VERY EAVY, VERY UMBLE
A blast from the past: The artwork for our VERY FIRST EPISODE!
(January 14th, 2014)
I've always loved the cover of BLACK SABBATH Vol.4, especially since I received the album as a Christmas present from my MOTHER way back in 1972. Mom always indulged my interest in the rock of the day, and for that I will be eternally grateful.
As we all know, The Sabs didn't always get it right. 10 years later, Ian Gillan was behind the mic, and most people decided it was best to sweep BORN AGAIN under the rug. I hated this one in 1983. Today I don't mind it so much - and I always liked the cover (except for the blue background).
Trivia: A lot of classic rock fans think GRAND FUNK was GFR's debut album. Nope. Grand Funk Railroad's ON TIME was their very first studio album. Sophomore GRAND FUNK followed a scant 4 months later.
VHUS 42 was originally issued wearing a yellow-green variant of the Black Sabbath Vol.4 artwork (Sept 3rd, 2015). When it came time to reissue 42 as a Classic Encore, I felt a new coat of paint was in order - by way of DEEP PURPLE's groundbreaking DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK.
We have plenty more of these to cover. Cover!!! Ha!
Stay tuned! (You know what I mean.)
