Abominog is the 14th studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep.
Originally recorded on 24 track digital tape in 1981 and 1982.
Released in the UK during March 1982 on Bronze Records (2), catalogue number BRONZE BRON 538
First released as a re-mastered CD by Castle in 1997 as ESMCD571 with four bonus tracks.
The vinyl version of the album was released worldwide as a single sleeve cover with an insert or sleeve depending on various country requirements.
Half of the 10 tracks are cover versions of recordings by other artists:
"On the Rebound" was originally recorded by Russ Ballard, on his Barnet Dogs album (1980).
"Hot Night in a Cold Town" was originally recorded by John Cougar Mellencamp, on his Nothin' Matters And What If It Didalbum (1980). The song was written by songwriters Geoffrey Cushing-Murray and Richard Littlefield.
"Running All Night (With the Lion)" was originally recorded by Gary Farr (2)'s Lion(11), on their Running All Night album (1980). Lion keyboard player John Sinclair (3) brought this song with him when he joined Uriah Heep.
"That's the Way That It Is" was originally recorded by the The Bliss Band, on their Neon Smiles album (1979).
"Prisoner" was originally recorded by Sue Saad And The Next, on their self-titled album Sue Saad And The Next(1980). The lyrics were written by DB Cooper.
The album also included a remake of "Think It Over", a song recorded by the prior (and largely different) lineup of Uriah Heep. The original version, featuring John Sloman on lead vocals, was the A-side of a 1980 Heep single and is included as bonus track on some remastered CD releases of this album.
