The Harvest of Gold Dejavu Retro Gold Collection R2CD 42-47 (2 CD, UK, February 2003) |
This is a collection of live recordings from four bands. There is no information provided with this release as to the source of the tracks except that they are shown as being licensed from Music Masters USA. But they are probably from BBC Radio Concert Sessions in the early '70s. Ian and Stephanie Rennie suggested on their (now defunct) Expletive Delighted website that the Fairport tracks are most likely from a “Sounds on Sunday” radio session recorded in early 1971 at the Royal Albert Hall. The Steeleye Span tracks are probably from BBC John Peel sessions in 1972 and early 1973, even though the CD's “20 page booklet with rare photographs” shows pictures of a later Steeleye Span line-up with drummer Nigel Pegrum.
Two of the Fairport tracks (The Deserter and The Lark in the Morning) and the four Steeleye Span songs—but not the reels—have been released in 1987 on the BBC LP Through Bushes and Briar.
