Barclay James Harvest - Everyone Is Everybody Else (1974) (14-track Remaster 2003)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

2003 remastered reissue of the British progressive rock act's 1974 album includes 5 bonus tracks, 'Child Of The Universe' (US Single Version), 'The Great 1974 Mining Disaster' (Original Mix - Previously Unreleased), 'Maestoso (A Hymn In The Roof Of The World)' (Recorded at Olymopic Studios, London in March 1974), 'Negative Earth' (Original Mix - Previously Unreleased) & 'Child Of The Universe' (Remake For Planned US Single). Features 14 tracks in all & a 16-page booklet.

The group's first album for Polydor is several steps above their EMI work. Most of the psychedelic-era influences are softened here and broadened, and transmuted into something heavier and more serious, even as the Beatle-esque harmonies remain intact. The guitars sound real heavy, almost larger than life here, while the swelling Mellotron and synthesizer sounds give the music the feel of an orchestra. The group had also mastered by this time the Pink Floyd technique of playing pretty tunes really slowly, which made them sound incredibly profound (it's actually a technique that goes back, in different forms, to Gustav Mahler and Anton Bruckner). John Lees gives superb, virtuoso performances on lead guitar on "Paper Wings" and "For No One." Les Holroyd's gorgeous "Poor Boy Blues" sounded more like Crosby, Stills & Nash than CSN did in those days, and is almost worth the price of the CD. (British import). Everyone Is Everybody Else was reissued in 2003 with five bonus cuts... Bruce Eder

If you never buy another hippie album buy this one. The extra tracks are a bonus but the album is it stood was as near perfection as it gets.
'Everyone is everybody else' was the pirate Radio Caroline's signoff tune in the early 70's. It was as clear and concise an anthem of 1960's rebellion as anyone achieved, including John Lennon. When one relistens to these kinds of albums one expects some embarassment. Here there is none. I expect the band would not change a single line in any song. The guitar is as beautiful now as it was 30 years ago. It was BJH's misfortune to be a little too intellectual for the Anglo-Saxon market. Their popularity was in mainland Europe. But if Nick Drake can be recognised after 30 years, there is hope that BJH will finally get the recognition they so richly deserved...Tim o' Halorion
