March 1975 - August 1976
Mick Box, Lee Kerslake, David Byron, John Wetton, Ken Hensley.
Thain's departure from the band made major headlines, and so too did the news of his successor, none other than ex-Family, King Crimson and current Roxy Music guest player John Wetton. Wetton was rushed in and his presence had immediate impact, released in mid '75, representing a much improved Uriah Heep. "It was a relief to have someone solid and reliable," says Box, "and he had a load of ideas too." The public voted with their pennies, making it the band's biggest selling album yet on its way to No.7 in the chart. Yet again, extensive touring ensued, with dates announced for Scandinavia (the band breaking the all-time attendance record for an indoor concert in Norway), Europe, Britain, the USA and Canada. "Year-Long World Tour" was the headline in NME, while Gerry Bron predicted that by the end of the year Heep will have played for one million people and travelled, 30,000 air miles.

David Byron’s final album with Uriah Heep came all too soon. The recording of “High and Mighty” was apparently a somewhat piecemeal affair, with only Hensley (who yet again dominates the song writing) and Wetton committed in full to the project. The absence of Gerry Bron as producer for the first time is less apparent than might have been expected, but he was reportedly unimpressed with the results.
