Barclay James Harvest - Baby James Harvest (1972) (16-track Remaster 2002)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Digitally remastered reissue of their classic album with 10 bonus tracks, 3 being previously unreleased, two that were released under the pseudonym 'Bombadil'.

Apparently the band ran out of money half way through this album, and it shows. It is the least "produced" of any BJH album - practically unplugged by BJH standards, but this is not always a bad thing. The general feel is quite bleak, but there is a fragile beauty throughout. The opener, Thank You, is a straightforward rocker, but the rest is stranger. Delph Town Morn and One Hundred Thousand Smiles have got a very North-Of-England-cold-sunlight feel. The brass helps - very unusual on a BJH album. Summer Soldier is a classic, but the version on BJH Live is better. Sounds a lot like Supertrampmore…'s (much) later Fool's Overture. The closing track, Moonwater, is the one time Wolstenholme really hits the target with his orchestral songs. It is gorgeous. I actually love this album, but I'm giving it 3 stars 'cos it's not for everyone, and because of the pointless extra tracks...D. Nebel
