One of the great cult bands of the progressive era, Barclay James
harvest shook of the mantle of being a 'poor man's Moody Blues' to
chart their own course. Feted in Germany and at times in other
parts of Continental Europe, but largely unknown at home in the
U.K. except to a fiercely loyal cognoscenti, Barclay James Harvest
are long overdue for greater recognition. Formed in the Saddleworth
area of north-west England in 1967, the band released a series of
outstanding albums showcasing their pastoral,
classically-influenced brand of rock, before hitting the heights of
their success, culminating in a massive open air concert in Berlin
in front of an estimated quarter of a million people. With only one
line-up change, the departure of keyboard maestro and founder
member Woolly Wolstenholme in 1979, they continued to record until
1998, when the band finally split into two separate groups, led by
original members John Lees and Les Holroyd respectively. The core
of this book covers Barclay James Harvest's output from 1968 to
1997, with analysis and background information for every studio
album and every song released from that period, but there is also
room for an overview of their live albums and of the members'
activities after the break-up of the original group. The book is
required reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in
one of the rock world's most underrated bands.
