Gone To Earth  by Barclay James Harvest

The Barclay James Harvest, with their eighth studio album titled Gone To Earth, offered their music fans in 1977 a classic progressive rock record. The album was produced by the band itself and David Rohl. The album was recorded between March and June 1977.

Gone To Earth contains two of the band's most classic songs, Hard Hearted Woman and Poor Man's Moody Blues, which is a response to a music journalist who had labeled them with this exact phrase, implying that in his opinion, Barclay James Harvest was a poor imitation of the great Moody Blues (!).

Despite being released in the midst of the punk and new wave storm, the album did very well in the United Kingdom, where it reached No.10. However, where it truly dominated was in Germany, where it spent 197 weeks on the charts and has been the sixth album with the longest stay in the German charts (!)
