Barclay James Harvest - Once Again (double vinyl)

The Prog Rock Classics label 180g double vinyl reissue of BJH's second album from 1971.

Finding the band at their most lyrical and ambitious, Once Again features two of the band's all-time classics, Mockingbird and Galadriel.

Part of a limited run of 1000 copies globally, this is packaged in a gatefold sleeve and is based on the EMI digital re-master featuring five extra tracks, including the haunting orchestral miniature White Sails (A Seascape).
