Barclay James Harvest was, for many years, one of the most hard luck outfits in progressive rock.

A quartet of solid rock musicians -- John Lees, guitar, vocals; Les Holroyd, bass, vocals; Stuart "Wooly" Wolstenholme, keyboards, vocals; and Mel Pritchard, drums -- with a knack for writing hook-laden songs built on pretty melodies, they harmonized like The Beatles and wrote extended songs with more of a beat than The Moody Blues.
