Barclay James Harvest - Premium Gold Collection
Review by Jennifer
The Premium Gold Collection by Barclay James Harvest is a must-have for any fan of the progressive rock genre. This album is a compilation of some of the band's most iconic tracks from their extensive career, spanning from the early 1970s to the late 1990s.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Mockingbird," a track that showcases the band's unique blend of acoustic and electric instruments, and the powerful vocals of lead singer John Lees. The album then moves on to other classics like "Poor Man's Moody Blues," "Hymn," and "Life is for Living," all of which demonstrate the band's ability to craft poignant and memorable melodies.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Child of the Universe," which features a soaring chorus and a memorable guitar solo. Another highlight is "Berlin," a powerful and emotional track that deals with the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Love this shit....
NUMERI 1 DI SEMPRE SENZAPARI
Some great solos on this. Love this rocky song from BJH. Clearly going for it here. So typical of its time and I love it. The fade out solos are great and love that bass. Is it guitar and/or electric violins??
And this was not a hit in America? LOL -- Considering how long this band has existed and the crowds they continue to attract throughout Europe -- you would think there would be a European Category in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This band has survived longer than many of the ones who are in that damn hall of fame and BJH attracted bigger crowds. ANY band that started in 1966 and is still recording and performing regardless of where they are in the eyes of the USA -- and I am an American -- deserves to automatically be in the R&R Hall of Fame for sheer quality and longevity. This is an amazing band -- yes, the poor man's Moody Blues (and they too, aren't' in the R&R Hall of Fame, go figure). This band has quite a respectable repertoire too.
Groovy, man
Awesome.....
really great stuff , nice post
One of the Barclays' best, beyond a shadow of doubt. It's a pity they didn't rock like this a bit more often imo.
Great track with a great riff. Rocks the hardest of their early songs. Thanks for the upload!
my pals bro is in bjh now from sad cafe
their music is gorgeous. Thanks, Steve, for this upload.
LOVE IT!! Thank you for posting!
Despite having to cope without a string or brass section this is a masterly performance.
Why combine BJH with Nektar etc and give the video BJH title. I am kinda lost.
I do not see the album .Who do we think we are .If you like BJH try and find this album I think its one of the best
Os meus favoritos no Mundo da musica desde 1977 com os álbuns editados em Portugal, The Best Of Barclay James Harvest, volume I e II, tenho conservados 27 Álbuns, que demoraram a obter durante 6 meses e 1 ano.??
