(3 / 5)
A new remastered and expanded two-disc edition of “Time Honoured Ghosts”, from prog’ rock legends Barclay James Harvest, which was first released in October 1975.
Recorded in San Francisco between May and July of that year, the record saw the band work with American producer Elliot Mazer at his studio in California. Featuring such fan-faves as “In My Life”, “Jonathan”, “Titles” (a hit single in Europe), “Moongirl”, “Hymn For The Children”, “Song For You” and “One Night”.
This double-disc edition of the album has been newly remastered from the recently discovered original stereo master tapes, and features a 1975 re-recording of “Child Of The Universe”, which was intended for an American single release, but was later shelved.
This set comes with an NTSC/Region Free DVD with a 5.1 Surround Sound up-mix (derived from the stereo master tapes, due to the loss of the original multi-track tapes), and the bonus visual feature of five promotional films shot in 1975 to accompany the album release.
The booklet with this set features illustrations, a poster and an essay by Keith and Monika Domone.
