Early Morning Onwards is the first compilation album by the English rock group Barclay James Harvest, released in September, 1972.[2]
Background
[edit]Early Morning Onwards was Barclay James Harvest's first compilation, released on EMI's budget Starline label for 99p in the UK, as a method of attempting to attract new fans towards the group.[3] It features a number of the band's early singles, alongside some of their most well known album tracks.[4] The title is a reference to the song "Early Morning", which was the group's first single and was originally released in April 1968. The album received two LP releases; the original jacket design featuring a black border and a picture of the band with stylised font surrounding the butterfly logo was found to be difficult to read by record buyers.[5] It was replaced by a plain white jacket design with the band name, logo and album title in much larger, clearer font in May 1973.[6] The album received broadly average reviews as it was considered to have not adequately captured the complete range of the group, nor compile all of their greatest hits.[7] It was released on CD in 1997.
The tracks "Early Morning" and "Mr Sunshine", which formed both sides of the band's first single, are presented in electronically reprocessed stereo, rather than the original mono, the only such time the tracks were released in this format.[8]
