History
The album consists of Harper's poetry backed by acoustic guitar and recorded with a Revox tape machine by Pierre Tubbs. Tubbs was also the producer of the album,under the pseudonym Peter Richards. [2]
When initially released the album was poorly distributed;only a few thousand were ever made,so to promote the album,Harper designed flyers and personally handed them out to shoppers in Oxford Street,London. [3] The album's liner notes imply that both John Renbourn and Ritchie Blackmore contributed. [4] [5]
On the original vinyl release,after the record needle pans across the run-out groove to the lock groove,there is a recording of Harper saying "Hup hup" over and over again. Some subsequent CD releases have included this recording as a separate track,"Hup Hup Spiral".
The album has subsequently been re-released on a number of different labels,given numerous titles,and had the original track listing altered. Though still available today,Harper only receives royalties for the official Science Friction release.
