	Everyone Is Everybody Else New - LP - PD 6508 Sealed 1974 Original. Tiny Cut Corner. “The Group's First Album For Polydor Is Several Steps Above Their EMI Work. Most Of The Psychedelic-Era Influences Are Softened Here And Broadened, And Transmuted Into Something Heavier And More Serious, Even As The Beatle-Esque Harmonies Remain Intact. The Guitars Sound Real Heavy, Almost Larger Than Life Here, While The Swelling Mellotron And Synthesizer Sounds Give The Music The Feel Of An Orchestra. The Group Had Also Mastered By This Time The Pink Floyd Technique Of Playing Pretty Tunes Really Slowly, Which Made Them Sound Incredibly Profound (It's Actually A Technique That Goes Back, In Different Forms, To Gustav Mahler And Anton Bruckner). John Lees Gives Superb, Virtuoso Performances On Lead Guitar On "Paper Wings" And "For No One." Les Holroyd's Gorgeous "Poor Boy Blues" Sounded More Like Crosby, Stills & Nash Than CSN Did In Those Days.” – Bruce Eder, All Music Guide. more

	Eyes Of The Universe Used - LP - PD-1-6267 1979 US Original With Custom Inner Sleeve, Compton Pressing With 26 On Labels. "Punk's Rise In Britain Seemed To Be Leading To The Demise Of Barclay James Harvest, The Fate Awaiting So Many Of The Island's Veteran Rock Bands. Although 1976's Octoberon Had Finally Pushed The Band Into The U.k. Top 20, It Was All Downhill From There, As The Group's Follow-ups In 1977 And 1978 Landed Ever Lower In The Listings, Something That Barclay James Harvest's Shift To A Brighter, More American Sound Did Nothing To Prevent. Keyboardist Wooly Wolstenholme Had Enough, And Announced His Decision To Depart In Early 1979 During The Rehearsals For Their Forthcoming Album. Graciously, He Agreed To Take The Stage With The Group For Its European Tour That Summer, With His Final Gig Recorded And Subsequently Released As The Live Tapes. Les Holroyd Initially Filled In On Keyboards In The Studio, Until Kevin Mcalea Was Brought In, And Recording Proceeded Apace. The Eight-song Eyes Of The Universe Album Was Released Later That Year, A Strong Set That Kicked Off With The Spinoff Single "Love On The Line." If That Number Showcased Their More Americanized Style, "Sperratus" Highlighted Their British Roots, With Its Renaissance-rinsed Ersatz Harpsichord And Soaring Guitar Parts. "Alright Down Get Boogie (Mu Ala Rusic)" Illustrated That Barclay James Harvest Were Open To New Sounds, In This Case Disco, And "Rock N' Roll Lady" To Old, Its Riff Obviously Inspired By Blue Öyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper." The Epic "Play To The World," Meanwhile, Slowly Builds In Scope, Growing Ever More Grandiose Across Its Six-plus Minutes, Until Finally Alan Fawkes' Saxophone Solo Kicks In, Adding A Sweep Of Springsteen To The Proceedings. "The Song (They Love To Sing)" Is Nearly As Majestic, While "Capricorn" Is Just Lyrically Baffling, Although Musically Upbeat. Considering The Events Swirling Around Its Making, Eyes Was A Triumph, Although Once Again It Took The Band Even Lower In The British Listings. But, Oh, Its Impact In Europe! The Set Soared Up The Charts Across The Continent, Turning Barclay James Harvest Into Instant Superstars. Eventually, The Band Would Reach New Heights In Britain As Well, But From This Point Forth, It Was Across The Channel That The Band's Fate Truly Lay." AMG - Jo-Anne Green. more

	Live Used - LP - 2683 052 Stunning 1974 2LP Gatefold Original With The Original Removable Price Tag In Place.. Both LPs Appear Mint, Unplayed. A1/B1/A1/B1 Stampers. “Though It Seems Odd That A Double-Live Album Could Serve As A Band's Breakthrough Release, Live Shows The Band Clearly Building Upon The Strengths Of Their Previous Studio Albums While Avoiding Their Excesses. Without A String Section To Back Them Up -- Or To Smother Them, Depending On Your Thinking -- The Band Draws More Heavily On Its Rhythm Section And On The Tonal Colorings Of Wolstenholme's Mellotron, The Latter Most Clearly On "The Great 1974 Mining Disaster." The Rich Harmonies, Political Content, And Poignant Twang Of John Lees Songs Like "For No One" Come Across Here With The Same Kind Of Ragged Majesty As Neil Young's Live Work. And An Epic-Length "Medicine Man," Unburdened Of Its Heavy Orchestral Arrangement And Beefed Up With A Newly Emphasized Guitar And Drum Parts, Reveals The Brawn Lurking Beneath The Lassitude Of The Studio Version. Overall, It's A Solid Live Collection, And A Fine Starting Point For Those New To The Band's Body Of Work.” Paul Collins, AMG. more

"In My Life Emphasizes BJH's Penchant For Ghostly Descending Vocal Choruses And Features An Angular Lead Guitar Part That Would Be Recycled Several Years Later In "Loving Is Easy." "Titles" Remains Memorably Catchy In Spite Of Its Faintly Irritating Musical Parlor Trick Of Lyrics Created Entirely From Beatles Song Titles. "Moongirl" In Particular Demonstrates How Stewart Wooly Wolstenholme's Approach To Keyboards Differs From Most Prog Rock Bands (With The Exception, Perhaps, Of Pink Floyd); By Subtly Combining A Variety Of Background Textures (Mellotron, Harpsichord, Organ, Piano), He Acts As A Foil To Set Off The More Obvious Roles Played By The Vocals And Lead Guitar."
