'Magician's Birthday' follows the hard prog-rock genre the band spearheaded and represents Heep's on-going journey up and over the peak.
This important album from their canon documents a band under pressure while still delivering the goods. The original album on CD 1 has been newly remastered by noted engineer Andy Pearce, and CD2 is comprised of previously unreleased tracks selected by Mick Box and Heep archivist Robert Corich. Extensive liner notes penned by best-selling author Joel McIver tell the story of the band's ascent and descent and are accompanied by new and revealing accounts of the time from Mick Box and Ken Hensley.
