The early Harvest of green and yellow:.

A Listmania! list by R. J. Heath "djaitch" (Loughborough, Leics, UK)
(REAL NAME)   
 
First Base/Amar Caballero
1.  First Base/Amar Caballero by Babe Ruth (Band)
The list author says:
  "First Base has  mixed ingredients for early English hardrock: the ballsy vocals of Jenny Hann (later a Memorex voice) Spaghetti Western music - and a dash of Zappa"
£13.61   Used & New from: £8.66
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

WASA WASA
2.  WASA WASA by Edgar Broughton Band
The list author says:
  "Recorded before EBB went agi-prop (predating New Model Army) and becoming  regulars at Glastonbury. Gothic before their time, the English Beefheart without so many quirks."
Used & New from: £4.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Joy Of A Toy
3.  Joy Of A Toy by Kevin Ayers
The list author says:
  "The direct successor of the first Soft Machine album: whimsical post-psychedelic British rock. Machine as the unofficial Harvest 'house band' provided a lot of the backing."
£5.67   Used & New from: £3.47
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Concerto for Group and Orchestra
4.  Concerto for Group and Orchestra by Deep Purple
The list author says:
  "Deep Purple as prog rockers. Jon Lord showing he could do as well as Keith Emerson with an orchestra (and an arranger) -  works for the most part."
£8.00   Used & New from: £4.39
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

HQ
5.  HQ by Roy Harper
The list author says:
  "A late  recording as this list goes. Has the essence of many Harvest's records: the  mixing of musician from different bands to generate different new  music, (ie.Edgar Broughton, Sharks, Krimson)."
Used & New from: £42.00
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Ummagumma
6.  Ummagumma by Pink Floyd
The list author says:
  "The first Harvest double? The musical crossroads between Barrett's Floyd and the future Floyd."
Used & New from: £9.99

A Meal You Can Shake Hands With in the Dark
7.  A Meal You Can Shake Hands With in the Dark by Peter Brown
The list author says:
  "The other half of  Cream's main writing team, doing his own thing. Rough around edges adding to the record's warped charm: the deconstruction of Politician has to heard to be believed."
£11.36   Used & New from: £4.48

Quatermass
8.  Quatermass by Quatermass & The Pit
The list author says:
  "Memorable for its gate fold sleeve, memorable for the group members who went to bigger and better things. Largely innovative music."
£11.83   Used & New from: £8.00
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Barrett/the Madcap Laughs
9.  Barrett/the Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
The list author says:
  "The mapcap artist disintegrating before your ears. (The Machine, as the label's ' house band', can be  fleetingly heard)."
Used & New from: £7.64
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Once Again
10.  Once Again by Barclay James Harvest
The list author says:
  "(I suppose they have to be included?) BJH may have lent their name to the label, but with the exception of a few tracks found on this album, they never got out of the 2nd Division of prog rockers."
£3.99   Used & New from: £2.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Out Here
11.  Out Here by Love
The list author says:
  "The double US Bluethumb recording by Love, no British label would handle - until Harvest stepped in. No quite as classic as the first 4 Elektra releases, still relevant in Love's discography."
Used & New from: £13.90
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)
