Look at Yourself Look at Yourself is the third album released by British rock band Uriah Heep. It is Uriah Heeps most straight-ahead hard rock album, with one notable foray into progressive territory on July Morning. The album has come to be viewed as a highpoint in the bands career, and is today regarded by many fans and critics as Uriah Heeps finest album along with Demons and Wizards, released the following year. The title track and July Morning were released as singles in the UK and North America in 1971 and 1973, respectively. The original cover art (not pictured opposite) on the LP featured a single sleeve with a die-cut opening on the front through which a reflective foil mirror was seen, conveying a distorted image of the person viewing it. The idea, by guitarist Mick Box, was for the cover to directly reflect the album title, and this theme is carried through the band photos on the rear of the LP sleeve, which have also been distorted. The LP itself was housed in a heavy-duty card inner, complete with lyrics. The song July Morning become the inspiration for a Bulgarian hippie tradition, known eponymously as July Morning. The album was mentioned in the David Sedaris book Barrel Fever, in Dons Story.
