Additional notes

Album Notes: Founded by Malcolm Jones in June, 1969, Harvest Records was EMI's response to the burgeoning post-psychedelic underground music scene, in much the same way that Pye begat Dawn and Polygram begat Vertigo. In essence, Harvest was a hip young imprint without the stodginess of a multimedia conglomerate to reduce its potential hipness quotient.
Funny thing is, it worked. The five-disc HARVEST FESTIVAL box begins with Edgar Broughton's MC5-like "Evil," the label's first single, and ends a decade later with Wire's "A Touching Display," from that band's classic album 154. In between are stalwarts like Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers, Shirley and Dolly Collins, the Move, ELO, Wizzard, and the Saints, as well as interesting second-tier artists like Barclay James Harvest, Roy Harper, and Broughton, alongside a smattering of historical curios and oddities. The astonishing package, with a foot-square, 120-page booklet, is equally impressive. A must for fans of the experimental side of '70s rock.
