Format:Audio CD
What a fine album this is.From the first track right to the last.This is arguably the finest recording by BJH.
The orchestral arrangements by Robert John Godfrey compliment the music of BJH so well.This 40th Anniversary Edition features the original album remastered and it sounds fantastic.There are seven bonus tracks on this cd five of which are previously unreleased.These previously unreleased tracks are:
Mockingbird (May 1970 version)
Galadriel (Non Orchestral version)
Happy Old World (First Take)
Song For Dying (Full Unedited version)
Mockingbird (Extended Non Orchestral version)
The second disc is DVD Audio only featuring the original album in these formats:
Original stereo analogue master
Surround Sound
Original Quadraphonic SQ stereo remastered
Again,this sounds superb. This is the ultimate version of this recording.The packaging is a jewel case and comes with a ten page booklet.
The album has been dedicated to the memory of Woolly Wolstenholme - A shining presence whose music will forever live on.

Format:Audio CD
This is one of the classic prog rock albums of the seventies. To many who followed BJH in the early part of their career, the time on the Harvest label was very special, particularly the first three albums. And of those three albums, this one is the shining jewel. I can still recall buying the vinyl version and hearing John Lees' soaring guitar on the start of the opening track 'She Said' and being blown away. There is not a poor track on the album and it sounds as fresh today as it did forty years ago.
This version is beautifully presented; the bonus tracks show how the band were developing and experimenting, and the evolution of the classic Mocking Bird in particular is highlighted. The unedited version of Song For Dying is a welcome addition too. The second disc with the original analogue master, quadrophonic mix and surround sound mix is very interesting and shows how much care has been put into this release. Sound quality throughout is superb.
It is very sad that this release is clouded by the sad and untimely death of Woolly Wolstenholme who was such an important part of the BJH sound and made a mighty contribution to this album.
Highly recommended.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Barclay James Harvests breakthrough album, containing some of their best known tunes including the knockout middle tracks of `Gladriel' (two versions), `Mocking Bird' (3versions) and `Vanessa Simmons'. The orchestral arrangements by Robert John Godfrey compliment the music of Barclay James Harvest very well though at the time and to this day this was the album which soured the relationship between Band and Arranger More on that in the sleeve notes.
This 2 disc 40th Anniversary edition comprises a premastered CD and a DVD which contains a DTS and Dulby Digital surround copy of the original SQ QUAD mix for Home movie theatre systems and DVD audio players, (though no DVDA track the DTS is 96/24). A nice touch is the original Stereo mix in 96/24 PCM and the SQ stereo mix in 96/24 PCM for the stereophile and audiophiles amongst the fans.
The QUAD mix is very old school with instrumentation in four corners of the room, and at times some wonky orchestra placement great fun though.
The CD has seven bonus tracks five previously unreleased:
Previously unreleased
Mockingbird (May 1970 version)
Galadriel (Non Orchestral version)
Happy Old World (First Take)
Song For Dying (Full Unedited version)
Mockingbird (Extended Non Orchestral version)
Previously released
Introduction - White sails (A Seascape)
Too Much on your Plate.
All in all a very good and well thought out re-issue of with a great sound.

Once Again is an album I didn't know, but as it was issued as a 40th Anniversary pack and in Quad surround sound, I thought I'll give it a go. Read more
