Reviews:
''The Magician's Birthday'' is the fifth album released by British rock band Uriah Heep. The story line is "based loosely on a short story" written by Ken Hensley in June and July 1972.
The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, the front of which was designed by Roger Dean. The inner of the gatefold had pictures of the band, with the LP itself housed in a liner on which were printed the lyrics.
Two songs charted in the United States, "Blind Eye" (#97) and "Sweet Lorraine" (#91). "Spider Woman" reached #13 in Germany. The title track is notable for an extended kazoo improvisation on the melody to "Happy Birthday to You".
''The Magician's Birthday'' was certified Gold by the RIAA on January 22, 1973. - Wikipedia
