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.

It Don't Bother Me is the second album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, released in November 1965.
It Don't Bother Me Review by Richie Unterberger
Basically an extension of his 1965 debut, Bert Jansch's second album is perhaps a bit lighter in mood and doesn't boast quite as strong material, although it's nearly in the same league. Includes one of his most explicitly political songs ("Anti-Apartheid"), his first recording with John Renbourn ("Lucky Thirteen," a Renbourn original), and his first use of banjo on record ("900 Miles").

“Six years had gone by. I’d written poems and chopped wood, but I was restless. I needed to be back on a stage. I made a few calls, got the team together again, including my son Nick Harper. Nick and I will be on the road together for three shows this autumn. It’s been far too long since we’ve played together. I’m looking forward to it and to seeing you all again.”
