One last new release that slipped through our fingers yesterday: a budget box from EMI U.K., collating five discs of material by Barclay James Harvest.

Taking Some Time On: The Parlophone-Harvest Years 1968-1972 collects all of the band's first few albums - Barclay James Harvest (1970), Once Again (1971), Barclay James Harvest and Other Short Stories (1972) and Baby James Harvest (1972) - along with all the non-LP singles and B-sides at the time, BBC sessions and other outtakes. This includes everything included on the Harvest/EMI remasters of these albums from 2002 (the mastering is taken from those same discs, as well) as well as this year's 40th anniversary expansion of Once Again. Last but not least, three unreleased live tracks recorded by Bob Harris for the BBC in 1972 are included as well.

Hit the jump to order this set from Amazon U.K. and a complete discographical rundown.
