Barclay James Harvest: “The Iron Maiden” (1970)

From an album that didn’t chart, backed by a tour that was a failure, by a band who never had a big hit. At least tough luck Barclay James Harvest have maintained their sense of humor regarding their 40+ years in the prog rock shadows.

Earning the title of “Poor Man’s Moody Blues”, they actually named a 1977 song “Poor Man’s Moody Blues” and it’s a parody/homage to that band’s classic “Nights in White Satin”.
