music.wikisort.org - CompositionFallen Angel is the 12th studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in September 1978 by Bronze Records in the UK and Chrysalis Records in USA. It is the last album to feature John Lawton on vocals, before his firing in 1979. Fallen Angel only reached No. 186 in the US Billboard 200, but in Germany, the band were at the height of their popularity. On this album, the band moved toward an AOR sound, as opposed to the progressive rock of previous albums.[6]

The album was remastered and reissued by Castle Communications in 1997 with four bonus tracks, and again in 2004 in an expanded deluxe edition.
Artwork
The album was originally released in a gatefold sleeve, opening vertically rather than the customary horizontal axis. The lyrics were printed on the LP liner. The artwork was licensed from artist Chris Achilleos. Achilleos's website lists the original artwork as missing. The same artist designed the cover for the Whitesnake album Lovehunter a year later.

Fallen Angel (с англ. — «Падший ангел») — 12-й студийный альбом британской рок-группы Uriah Heep, выпущенный в сентябре 1978 года на Bronze Records в Великобритании и Chrysalis Records в США. Это последний альбом группы с вокалистом Джоном Лоутоном. Произошла ссора между Кеном Хенсли и Лоутоном (чья жена раздражала музыкантов своим постоянным присутствием). Вокалист был уволен в 1979 году вскоре после выступления Uriah Heep на фестивале Bilzen в Бельгии.[1] Почти сразу же из состава ушёл барабанщик Ли Керслейк: по версии журнала Sounds — после ссоры с менеджером и продюсером группы Джерри Броном (которого барабанщик обвинил в том, что для того «…единственным ценным участником группы является Хенсли».
