JOHN LEES BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST | New Album Relativity released in October

THE SUPERB NEW ALBUM FROM JOHN LEES’ BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST.
THE RELEASE IS BACKED BY A FULL PRESS & MEDIA CAMPAIGN COVERAGE IN THE UK, GERMANY & EUROPE.
DELUXE LIMITED EDITION 3 DISC CD / BLU-RAY SET INCLUDES A BLU-RAY DISC WITH THE 5.1 SURROUND SOUND MIX OF THE ALBUM BY STEPHEN W TAYLER.
ALSO INCLUDES BONUS CD OF A PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED CONCERT RECORDED IN THE USA IN 2009 FEATURING THE LATE WOOLLY WOLSTENHOLME.

Several years in the making, the record is a 78-minute collection of songs loosely based upon the concept of human and cosmic interaction and relationships. Produced by the band and mixed by acclaimed engineer Stephen W Tayler (known for his work with Kate Bush, Rush, Howard Jones, Rupert Hine, Tina Turner and many more), ‘Relativity’ is a true group effort by John Lees, Craig Fletcher, Jez Smith and Kevin Whitehead and draws upon the fine musical heritage of Barclay James Harvest whilst also being a body of music made for these current times. The result is one of the finest albums by any incarnation of BJH in many years.

The special limited clamshell box edition also includes a region free Blu-Ray audio disc featuring Stephen W Tayler’s wonderful 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the album and an additional CD of highlights of a previously unreleased concert by John Lees’ BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST recorded at RosFest, Pennsylvania, USA in May 2009 featuring the late Woolly Wolstenholme.

The limited-edition gatefold 2 LP vinyl edition has been cut at Abbey Road Studios and also features printed inner bags.
