ROY HARPER

1971 UK pressing

Hats off to Roy Harper!

It’s hard to believe nobody really gave a shit about this when it came out.

Harvest absolutely loathed it.
It’s that age old story of “no singles, can’t sell it”.
Harvest claimed there was no money to promote it, but it’s 1971, and they were Harvest, so that’s clearly bullshit.

It’s 2026 now, and we’ve known for a very long time how fucking brilliant it is. It’s by far Harper’s best album, and it’s even got a guest guitar solo on it from Jimmy Page (of course it does).

Johnny Marr of The Smiths cites this as a favorite of his, and calls it “Hunky Dory’s bigger, badder brother.”

High (and much deserved) praise.

Just a mind blowing early #70s masterpiece.
