Originally released October, 1975 with a bonus track, the entire album in hi-res and 5.1 and their 1975 promotional films.
"It was their first (and only) album recorded in the USA, at "His Masters Wheels" studio in San Francisco. This 1975 Album by British mellotron masters Barclay James Harvest is unique in a couple of respects. It also featured the song "Titles" which had lyrics comprised of the titles of Beatles songs. The album sleeve was designed by Bill Dare, and was based upon a Maxwell Parrish lithograph from the 1930's. The song "Jonathan" was based on the novel Jonathon Livingston Seagull, and was to have been the title song for the film of the same name. Difficulties arose between the author of the book and the band, and it was not used. This is a well thought out and produced album, and has some of the band's more enjoyable early works. "Hymn for the Children" is one of John Lees' more moving songs, and is still as topical today as it was back in 1975. If you are a Barclay James Harvest fan, this album would be a welcome addition to your collection. If you are not familiar with the band, this album is not a bad introduction to their music.
With the amazing numbers of marginal albums available out there, it's nice to know that there are still bands making quality, technically excellent music, and that Amazon. com is carrying groups like Barclay James Harvest, allowing an entire generation of new fans to discover this magical music for themselves"-Fretplay.com
