John Lees’ Barclay James Harvest – Relativity

Description

Release Date 17th October 2025

Several years in the making, the record is a 78-minute collection of songs loosely based upon the concept of human and cosmic interaction and relationships.
Produced by the band and mixed by acclaimed engineer Stephen W Tayler (known for his work with Kate Bush, Rush, Howard Jones, Rupert Hine, Tina Turner and many more), ‘Relativity’ is a true group effort by John Lees, Craig Fletcher, Jez Smith and Kevin Whitehead and draws upon the fine musical heritage of Barclay James Harvest whilst also being a body of music made for these current times. The result is one of the finest albums by any incarnation of BJH in many years.

This limited-edition gatefold 2 LP vinyl edition has been cut at Abbey Road Studios and also features printed inner bags.
