Barclay James Harvest’s Once Again, their sophomore album from 1971, deepens the band’s blend of rock with orchestral textures, featuring contributions from the London Symphony Orchestra. This album marked an early instance where the group’s symphonic ambitions came into full bloom, weaving lush arrangements around their melodic rock foundation. The cover, designed by Ian Latimer with photography by Richard Dunkley, captures a visual mood that complements the music’s expansive feel. While “Mocking Bird” is a track that has become a staple in their live shows, the album as a whole showcases a band refining its identity beyond straightforward rock. This pressing from 1971 offers a solid listen with vinyl in very good plus condition, meaning you can expect only light surface marks or minor scuffs that shouldn’t interfere with playback. For those who appreciate the physicality of a well-aged LP, it’s the kind of record that fits comfortably in a collection without demanding a special shelf—although keeping it away from the turntable’s edge might be wise, as the music’s orchestral sweep deserves a steady spin.
