Product Description

CD Description

The second album by British folk-progressive outfit BarclayJames Harvest, 1971's ONCE AGAIN is widely considered one of the group's finest efforts. Very much of a piece with their 1970 debut, right down to the cover art featuring a close-up of a section of the stained glass window that had been onthe first album's cover, ONCE AGAIN was recorded with a full orchestra under the direction of Robert Godfrey. Godfrey'swork is particularly notable on the album's standout track,"Mockingbird". (So much so, unfortunately, that Godfrey felt he deserved co-writing credit for the song and refused to work with the band again.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply brilliant!, 24 Feb 2008
By alextorres "musiclover" (Near Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
"Once Again" is Barclay James Harvest's classic second album, recorded in 1971. It is a brilliant album, criminally underrated by the rock press but universally loved by their fans, irrespective of the era during which they actually came to know the band.

It contains some timeless classics, of course: there's the brilliant "Mocking Bird" - heard here in its original form with Robert Godfrey's vibrant orchestral arrangement - the song which was to become one of the band's best loved and an ever present in the live set (they're still performing it now!); the gorgeously atmospheric and peaceful "Galadriel", also performed with the orchestra and also still to be heard live today; and the powerful opener "She Said", which brings the album to life with its powerful guitar chords and catchy chorus before introducing a beautifully melodic recorder (yes, recorder!) solo, which leads into a stirring lead guitar solo from John Lees as the song once more builds to a crescendo in the finale. Stirring stuff!

The melodic writing is first class and is the thread that unites these songs together, whether they be rocky, like "Ball and Chain", tending towards folky like "Vanessa Simmons " and "Lady Loves" (which features Alan Parsons guesting on jews harp) or the orchestral numbers already mentioned.

The album also features a couple of "conscience" songs, something that would become a trademark of BJH with at least one such number featuring on most of their studio albums. On this album we have an "environmental" song, "Happy Old World", with its clever key change in the chorus, and "Song for Dying", a short but powerful anti-war song - both were to be recurring themes in BJH's long history.

It would be wrong not to mention Norman Smith's excellent production of the album - BJH always benefited from having a strong producer overseeing their work and the fact that this album of diverse songs sounds such a cohesive piece of work is surely down to Norman.

It's a splendid album - if you're new to the band then buy it without hesitation! The sound on this remastered recording is excellent. The many bonus tracks add a certain interest but should be listened to separately from the album itself as they don't really fit in with the heavenly experience of the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't smile just yet, chaps, 22 Sep 2005
By D. J. H. Thorn "davethorn13" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Like Radiohead, BJH have made an art-form out of being miserable, but who cares when you've got songs as good as this. Maybe they sensed it too when they made this album. They sound as if they're almost enjoying themselves by the time they get to "Lady Loves". In the UK they've spent their career coming on like a minor league Pink Floyd, attempting mini symphonies rather than the realisation of vast concepts. I don't care whether they deserve better, I'm just pleased they made the right decision.

Of all the rock bands who've augmented their music with an orchestra, BJH, on this album at least, have used it the most effectively. But you still have to have good material and "Once Again" isn't short of highlights. The angst of "She Said" is memorably intense while much has already been written about the aching "Mockingbird". Credit is also due for the pure, irresistible bluesy rock of "Ball And Chain".

I've only heard a handful of BJH albums but I'd rather listen to them having a moan than the infinitely more successful Radiohead. Cheer up fellas, but not too much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic B.J.H, 20 Mar 2002
By m.j.edu@btinternet.com (London, England. U.K.) - See all my reviews
'Once again' is one of those albums like a fine wine, it get's better with age. Originally released in 1971 it still has the appeal that it had all those years ago. Right from the opener 'She said' to the closing 'Lady loves' this is classic progressive rock from a long underated band.

4.0 out of 5 stars Once Again, a classic taste of symphonic rock
Once Again is probably the album that defines early Barclay James Harvest. Grand in its concept, lush in its orchestration, it marries quasi-classical arrangements with hard rock... Read more
