Stormcock is Roy's masterpiece but "Valentine" is almost as good - and quite a bit more accessible. A collection of love songs, yes, but there is nothing predictable or sloppy here: these songs have truth, tenderness, anger, frustration, humour - and loads of bittersweet twists and turns to keep you interested. Some of the tracks rock out very nicely with assistance from Roy's "heavy" friends, but mostly the feel of this album is gentle, acoustic (very fine guitar as always from Roy)...quite seductive in its way.
The LP has now been re-issued as a CD records Valentine – Roy Harper home

A very, very small section of woods. The surrounding area of woodland was bulldozed by the rich guy who bought the adjacent property. He did so to put in a few ponds. The ponds are nice but I'd rather have had the wooded area. I enjoy my little section most in spring. The wildflowers,ferns and other native plants are pretty then.
