Classic live Harper

As noted, the CD isn't the same as the original vinyl release. It's still a great album and worth tracking down. If you are having trouble sourcing it you can try directly through the artists web site.

Everything You wanted To Know About Roy Harper (but didn't dare ask)
This album is a candidate for one of the top twenty live albums of the '70s, particularly with hindsight. This work finds Roy in fine voice and playing, with plenty of support where it adds to the balance. It is different from the original vinyl release, being shorn of three tracks, but all the more coherent as a single CD because of that. All the contrariness, tenderness and shear atittude that Roy put into his six studio albums of the (then) previous near ten years came into focus with the atmosphere if a live audience. Highlights? The poetry of 'Commune', the fine slide guitar on 'MCP blues' and it's acute observed lyric. The serious frivolity of his comments prior to 'Don't You Grieve' and 'Kangaroo Blues'.This live album also serves as a departure point for the electric phase of his career, which started with 'HQ' the following year in 1975. Warmly commended.
