Roy Harper's second U.S. release found him in as uncompromising a mood as ever; who else would follow up HQ's (1975) elegiac grandeur with a sweeping, 20-minute epic like "One of Those Days in England"? Yet such conceits are exactly the quality that endear Harper to fans then and now; it's nothing less than a sweeping roundup of Western civilization's follies, such as an impersonal government that seems unable to offer a future beyond "rolling spliffs for Captain Kirk." Harper's since cited the song as his favourite extended track, which also opens the album in abbreviated, three-minute form, bolstered by the unlikely presence of Paul and Linda McCartney on backing vocals.

The album continues the romantic yearning established on prior outings like HQ, Valentine (1974), and Stormcock (1971), an impression cemented by "These Last Days," "Cherishing the Lonesome," and "Naked Flame" -- which laments yet another favourite Harper theme, the ashes of fraying relationships.

The full band does much to lend his lyrics the weight that they deserve, although Harper's vocals are emotive and soulful as ever. Harper's rowdy, playful side comes out on the rollicking countrified blast of "Watford Gap," his sardonic tribute to a café that served greasy fare to rockers like himself on the touring circuit (which EMI later replaced with "Breakfast With You," after the owners threatened a lawsuit). The album didn't expand Harper's commercial pull beyond his die-hard fans, but his musical creativity burned brightly as ever, and is an exemplary snapshot of his '70s peak.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
