A to me indispensable 2-LP promotional sampler, containing cuts from eighteen Harvest albums released 1969-70, most of them getting hard or almost impossible to find at an ok price today. And there's further frosting on this cake - first issue of the Pink Floyd song "Embryo" and the only place for it till 1983, when it showed up on the US Capitol collection "Works". Too much good stuff to go in detail with here, just check the track list below. Got many favorites, but to mention a few - Pretty Things "The Good Mr. Square", Bakerloo "This Worried Feeling", Quatermass "Black sheep Of The Family", Syd Barrett "Terrapin" and of course - "Embryo". If I have to say something negative - most tracks are cut very loud, which fits some of the songs while others are on the edge of cracking. Not too bad - Deep Purple "Into The Fire" bursts all seams while the rest plays enjoyable enough. This sampler is getting quite scarce, but not super rare and copies still show up in used bins at affordable prices. Should You spot one of those don't hesitate, just pick, pay and run! 1970 release also in Germany (Harvest 1C 178-04 424/25). Never reissued on CD. The 2007 UK Harvest 3xCD compilation "A Breath Of Fresh Air : A Harvest Records Anthology 1969-74" though carrying fiftytwo tracks only had three in common with this. Premiere UK had label as shown here and laminated fold out cover with "29/11" price sticker. (SÄM*) (HÄVL*)
