This 2018 Esoteric Recordings reissue of Barclay James Harvest's self-titled 1970 debut offers a chance to reappraise the early sound of a band that would later embrace more bombastic arrangements and orchestral flourishes. The album captures the group in a more raw, psychedelic, and folk-influenced phase, predating their more famous stadium rock sound.
- The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
- The original release featured a distinctive die-cut sleeve designed by the design group Hipgnosis.
- This reissue includes bonus tracks, including the non-album single 'Early Morning' and its B-side 'Thank You'.
Barclay James Harvest were a British band formed in 1966, known for their blend of progressive rock, folk rock, and orchestral arrangements. They were a significant act within the UK's classic rock scene throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
