Harvest Festival focuses on the label's two more successful styles.
First
there's the folkier side, comprising ardent traditionalists like
Shirley and Dolly Collins, Martin Carthy, and The Albion Band;
folk-influenced individualists like Michael Chapman and the great Roy
Harper; and exceedingly twee folk-poppers like Panama Limited Jug Band,
Third Ear Band and Gryphon. Between them, this lot contribute many of
Harvest Festival's most appealing moments, especially if you have a
taste for finger-picked acoustic guitars and hand percussion.
But
the majority of Harvest Festival is devoted to post-psychedelic artists
who were able to skew pop-song conventions just enough to turn them
into something totally unique. Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers, Be-Bop Deluxe,
and the grand Roy Wood dynasty -- The Move (was a better single than
"Do Ya" released in the '70s?), the Electric Light Orchestra, Wizzard
and his solo records -- are the true stars of Harvest Festival. It's
their songs, not those of their better-selling brethren like Deep
Purple and

The term "lost classic" is applied liberally and often erroneously to unreleased recordings that resurface years later in a maelstrom of hype. However, for the forgotten mod rock also-rans the Action, the term is not only justified, it is painfully bittersweet. On par with such classics of the era as The Who Sell Out or Ogden's Nut Gone Flake but more focused than either, the Action's Rolled Gold goes beyond "lost classic" — it is the influential masterpiece no one was ever allowed to hear. Despite bein

Philip Drucker, alias
Jackson Del Ray, is a curious and somewhat mysterious figure whose
music is undeservedly little known. Drucker was an art student who
first came to most people's notice as a founding member of Savage
Republic. The band was initially musically primitive, with frequently
out-of-tune instruments backed by percussion as simple as Drucker
pounding on a 50-gallon oil drum, but there were hints of Greek and
Middle Eastern music in their sound. As the band matured, these
elements became more pronounced, but so did the rivalry between
guitarist Bruce Licher and Drucker over who was in charge of the band.
A close associate remembers that virtually every rehearsal ended with a
