Celebration – Forty Years of Rock


Celebration – Forty Years of Rock is a greatest hits album by British rock band Uriah Heep. It mainly features rerecorded classics – which, said bassist Trevor 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. Russell is a bit of an animal, so they sound livelier than ever."
Two tracks were written specifically for this release: 'Only Human' 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 footage filmed on tour in Israel and the United States.
