Salisbury is the second album released by British rock band Uriah Heep.

Although the majority of tracks are heavy metal and hard rock, more so than on the previous
...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble, the album features forays into both jazz-fusion on "The Park",
and progressive rock on the band's first large-scale composition, the 16-minute title track
featuring a 24-piece orchestra. It also includes the largely acoustic ballad "Lady In Black."

The hard rock sound, quite prominent here, would carry over to their next release, which was
to be dominated by this genre.

Unlike their first album, songwriting credits for fully half of the record are attributed to
Ken Hensley alone, as opposed to the collaborative partnership credits of Box/Byron on the debut.

The album was originally released on the Vertigo label, as had been the band's debut ...Very
'Eavy ...Very 'Umble, but both were soon re-released when the band signed to the new Bronze
Records for their third LP.

The connection of the artwork to the title is readily explained. Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire,
England, is an Army training-area. On the front of the album sleeve is a British Chieftain tank.

The original LP release was a gatefold-sleeve. Inside is a b/w picture of a British tank of the
First World War, over which were printed Hensley's comments on each track. Later reissues would
be in a single sleeve. The American release featured a different sleeve image.
