 D> Barclay James Harvest _Alone We Fly_ 
 D> This is a collection from '74 into the '80's
 SD> I've owned most of their albums through the late 70's at one time or
 SD> another,  and I wouldn't call them bland, at least not all the time. 
 SD> They alternated  between intense, proggy numbers and weak
 SD> straight-ahead numbers, and were  very uneven.
The one I remember seeing (and possibly owning) was _Baby James Harvest_
which sounded kinda like (Yeah, Kenneth, SoCal) baby food as I recall.
 SD> ..._Live_ album, and the _Live Tapes_ album,  were the only really
 SD> consistent things they ever did, and are both brilliant  prog albums a
 SD> la Camel, Genesis, Moody Blues, and other "classic" English  prog
 SD> bands.
_Alone We Fly_ makes me think of either Supertramp or Alan Parsons Project
in their less commercial modes.  With a different label or some US tours,
maybe BJH could've been as big as one of them...
 SD> ...they remained wildly popular at
 SD> least in  Germany until late in the 80's...last I heard.
Which would explain the live stuff recorded in Berlin in the 80's...
 D>>>Are they made from REAL Girl Scouts?
 SD> That is sick and disgusting...
I think I should've formatted it thusly, since it's from a movie (that
happened to be on the tube last night):
...  addams___are they made from REAL Girl Scouts?
Morticia's purring delivery of "Ooh... You've done this before,"
to the guy stretching her on the rack was choice!
