Roy Harper - Flashes From the Archives of Oblivion (1974)

I will start by saying that "Flashes From the Archives of Oblivion" is my Roy Harper favourite record and one of the most outstanding albums in the genre. Harper's voice and guitar, sound as captivating and immensely profound as you could ever imagine.
That's pretty obvious in such beautiful tracks like the classic "Another Day" (wich was later covered in This Mortal Coil's "It'll End in Tears"), "Me and My Woman" or "Twelve Hours of Sunset".
Don't miss it!

  1. Thanks for this very hard to find album. It took me a long time to "get" Harper - but got there in the end. Thanks!

  3. You're right about this one! One of my favourites and soooo hard to find. I've got an old ratty version on vinyl and it's been played to death. Thanks!

  6. I clicked on the title and it says 404 not found?? I've been searching for this album for years after my dad gave away his without my knowledge.

    My favorite Roy Harper album of all time, please make it available again!
