Talk:Harvest Records

To-do
I'm afraid I've taken some awful liberties with this page; but when I came to it, I thought some improvements could be made: --Rodhullandemu 23:04, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Move list of Harvest artists to here & change into a table
 * Add references to keep less important text out of the main flow
 * Improve formatting of the post-1984 issues
 * Tighten up the wording
 * Remove the link to record labels - this IS a record label!
 * Add reference to Picnic sampler.

Picnic sampler and pre-1984 release section
Rodhullandemu was asking on my User Talk page about edits I made to the article today in relation to the Picnic sampler and discography section.

The fact that the Picnic sampler was released was, before I edited it, just a random piece of info in the middle of the prose. I couldn't tell why it was being mentioned at all. It set a bad precedent for everyone else adding their favorite releases into the prose. It seems there's just a desire to have a link to the article about the album, since the article exists? I know nothing about it, so I didn't really want to try to gauge the album's notability; I just assumed that it was mentioned here for a good reason. Rather than keeping it in the prose, though, I put it in its own section in what I felt should be called a 'selected' (deliberately incomplete) discography, hence the heading change.

The compilation was also described as "classic", which is a rather subjective term used by fans & critics; if that word is found in an encyclopedia, it should be cited and characterized as something that "has been called a classic by so-and-so", not just "is a classic", you know? So rather than "classic", I decided to use the term "acclaimed" (as in, tended to get favorable reviews), which may be slightly easier to verify, and is a marginally more neutral criterium for releases to be included in the list. "Notable" is another option, though what that entails is always a matter of debate in WP:MUSIC.

I don't intend to populate the list of pre-1984 "acclaimed"/"notable"/"classic" albums myself. More knowledgable fans of the label can figure out what meets the qualifications. Feel free to change the structure or criteria, and figure out some other way to retain the link to the Picnic sampler, if it really needs to stay in. I just wanted to get things a little tidier. —mjb 04:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Harvest Heritage
Changed date of the creation of HH from 1977 to 1975. Virtually all of the SHSM series except the first one, are part of this series (and that first album, a budget priced collection of singles, should have been part of it; they hadn't thought up the name at the time of its release). For a list of releases, see here. I'm not sure if that is a citable website, but I've seen it used as an external link in some articles. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 18:56, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Origin of name
i heard that Harvest was named after the group Barclay James Harvest. Can anyone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.22.122 (talk) 03:44, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Non-British album releases on Harvest
The Danish musician Sebastian had three albums released by EMI on the Harvest label. Those are Den store flugt (1972, https://www.discogs.com/Sebastian-Den-Store-Flugt/release/7011821), Over havet under himlen (1973, https://www.discogs.com/Sebastian-Over-Havet-Under-Himlen/release/1537442) and Blød lykke (1974, https://www.discogs.com/Sebastian-Bl%C3%B8d-Lykke/release/1569077). They have probably not been released outside Scandinavia. Should they be included in the discography? Aejsing (talk) 18:47, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Anomalies on track listings on Deep Purple's "Fireball" cassette
I have noticed that the majority of copies of Deep Purple's "Fireball" on cassette have the wrong track listings on the wrong sides, i.e., side 1 should start with the title track and side 2 with "The Mule". I wound the tape to the beginning of side two expecting to hear "Fireball" as listed but got "The Mule" so it's the track listings that are the problem, not the 1 or 2 on the labels. I don't know if any other tapes have this anomaly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.107.138 (talk) 17:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
