You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Look at Yourself is the 3rd studio album by English rock band Uriah Heep, released in September 20, 1971 by Bronze Records in the UK and Mercury Records in the US. It was the last Uriah Heep album to feature founding member and bassist Paul Newton. Drummer Keith Baker left the band, replaced by Ian Clark with no credits on the album.
Characterized as heavy metal and progressive rock, the album came to be viewed as a high point in the band's career and is regarded by many fans and critics as one of Uriah Heep's finest albums, along with Demons and Wizards, released the following year. The title track was released as a single in various countries, followed by "July Morning" released in Japan in 1972.
The song "July Morning" was the inspiration for a Bulgarian tradition, known eponymously as July Morning or "Julaya", of gathering on the beach on the Black Sea coast on the morning of 1 July to watch the sunrise.
The original cover art 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.
Limited edition 50th anniversary clear vinyl issued in 2021 and instead of die-cut and foil the "mirror" on the front jacket is silver print.
