HARVEST HERITAGE/20 GREATS SHSM 2020 (-77) UK

Compilation of cuts initially issued by various labels part of UK EMI. As you can tell from release year and front sleeve design probably more meant as a boost for the Harvest Heritage serie than the originals, still having such an array of gems it's hard to pass by. For me the most pleasing track would be the non-album flip side of The Gods "Hey Bulldog" 45 - "Real Love Guaranteed" in original mono - but I guess Pretty Things "SF Sorrow Is Born", Tomorrow "My White Bicycle", Syd Barrett "Octopus", Deep Purple "Hush", Kevin Ayers "Caribbean Moon" and the 45 version of Babe Ruth "Private Number" put together with thirteen other more or less killers can make any period collector's day. Only downside is they crammed in ten cuts on each side thus making the audio a little less enjoyable than from the originals. Nothing discouraging, but leaving the tracks more space on a 2-LP set would have been dandy. To my knowledge this was the only issue. It came with label as shown here and thin laminated cover.
