I'm a fan and follow your words of wisdom with breathless adoration.

BTW. Totally agree on the wonderfulness of 'The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp' but that Czar album was awful (and yes, I used to have a copy of it). .

My ex brother in law Colin Burn was virtually running the pop side of EMI when this was happening, for them Harvest was a daft disaster. Interview with Colin.

Q - It coincided with the artists taking themselves more seriously?

A - Bloody (Pete) Jenner and (Andrew) King, and Pink Floyd. Jenner and King were their managers when they first came. We had this big party in the square; nobody really understood what psychedelia was. Jenner and King had these rotating drums in front of a slide projector and they dropped oil on them. Everyone who came was not looking at Pink Floyd; they were looking at the lights going round the wall. Harvest was a fiasco – that was a (Roy) Featherstone special. There was a lot of good in Featherstone but he did a lot of crappy things and Harvest was one of them. Pink Floyd came through, but there were just so many others. Shirley & Dolly Collins, Roy Harper Band, Kevin Ayers – they never sold records in their time. I don’t know if Kevin Ayers is doing anything now (he may have been at the time of the interview, but he died on February 18, 2013). There were lots of people who had records that everyone considered were hits that were never hits. Simon Dupree’s ‘Kites” – everyone thought that was a a hit record…he never had a hit. He was managed by John King, father of Simon King who does the BBC nature programmes. The loss of contact became for me an automatic, synthetic type of operation.

There was a few good Progressive albums on Harvest but no where near as excellent the Swirl Vertigo catalogue was..

Simon Dupree & the Big Sound were what was to become Gentle Giant.

The Kevin Ayers 'Whatevershebringswesings' was a great album especially The opening track "There Is Loving" with all the Pink Floyd 'Atom Heart Mother' type brass work going on...
