Десятый классический студийный альбом великой английской группы на тяжелом 180-граммовом виниле с разворотом ( Gatefold) в лучшем переиздании со времени первого оригинального релиза в феврале 1977 года.
Это был первый ( из трех) альбом с новым вокалистом Джоном Лоутоном, заменившего потрясающего Дэвида Байрона. Также на этом альбоме дебютировал басист Тревор Болдер.


Firefly is the 10th studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in February 1977 by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros. Records in the US. It was their first album without lead vocalist and founding member David Byron, and the first of three albums with new singer John Lawton.
Bassist Trevor Bolder made his Uriah Heep debut on this album. Barring a break of about 18 months in the early 1980s, he remained with the group until his death in 2013.
The first single from the album was "Wise Man".
The original vinyl album was a gatefold sleeve, with a cardboard lyric liner.
The album was remastered and reissued by Castle Communications in 1997 with two bonus tracks, and again in 2004 in an expanded deluxe edition.

All tracks written by Ken Hensley, except where noted.
