Contrary to the first album, "Salisbury" was written mainly by Ken Hensley, who was the band's primary songwriter on most of its releases until his departure in 1980.
The album is notable for the band's first attempts at more complex compositions resulting in a 16minute title track. "Salisbury" also features the song Lady In Black, which became one of the most popular songs in the band's history and is still a fan favourite played at Uriah Heep's every show.
The album was remastered and released with two bonus tracks in 1996. In 2003, an expanded deluxe edition was released with 7 bonus tracks.
The band's line-up at this time was:
David Byron – lead vocals
Ken Hensley – slide & acoustic guitar, vocals, piano, harpsichord, organ, vibraphone
Mick Box – lead & acoustic guitar, vocals
Paul Newton – bass guitar, vocals
Keith Baker – drums, percussion
