I saw them on the OGWT, they ripped the piss out of whatever is name was, sparked up. Brilliant. I laughed so much I bought the vinyl. A wonderful album, Roy Harper's lyrics and poetry are [invent phrase here]...
Two of the greatest! Roy was brilliant with Floyd's have a cigar, This is my favourite with Page though. What a talent! Two of Roy's songs will be at my funeral. Goodbye and I'll see you again. Clever musician!!!!!
I bought this on cassette when first released in 85’. I wore it out in 3 months !! A totally underrated masterpiece!! I think 💭 harpers best album along with life mask 😷😅👊✊
Found this in a Californian record store on a university exchange In 1994 when I was 18. Took me another 10 years to discover Stormcock collaboration with Page and his early stuff when back in UK...life changing
I was late to the Roy Harper thing - first album was "Death or Glory" closely followed by snagging everything i could. "Mans a bloody genius" i thought - and this album is up there as one of my favorite listens.
I thought I was the only one who thought this world we got going here is fucking insane. Wish we would band together and change it. Lol The system prevents that. Enjoy the nightmare!2023!
We are all the 'dispossessed' in society, with the betrayal of humanity in this ceaseless, pointless global rush to a scientific 'nowhere'. But the sad irony, is that those who are the most blindly complicit in society - are those who (however inarticulately and subconsciously) need the most change. But are the very people who would let's face it - not understand what he's actually singing about here, or even care for that matter - because they are in fact the _'lemmings'_ he's referring to.
@Lady Snowblood Take a listen to The 4th World on the Death or Glory album. Similar theme, and more relevant today than when it was written. There's 2 versions, the remixed one with the new drums does it justice more so than the original. Gives it the anger and belligerence it didn't have in the original.
Sure. It's the reason the song is called Nineteen Forty Eightish. 1984 was written in 1948. 'The one we've all been longing for' is likely a reference to the fact in the end Winston ends up loving Big Brother.
Just pure quality roy harper at his best timeless
Only if you're beating your plates of meat.
It's amazing how listening to music you haven't heard for a few decades, can peek memories, almost a deja vu.
im feeling that same feeling man, chills from the memories
Recorded at my uncle Tony's recording studio, in Blackpool. I really miss him.
an unjustly, unheard, unknown, diamond of an album.
esp when you consider jimmy page didn't do much great stuff during the 80's, at least that's the general opinion
Treasure mine😉

Watching harper and Page together was outstanding!
Always put this to the front of the display in HMV so it catches the eye of a young pothead who will take a chance on it due to the sleeve design.
Ooooo, Jimmy first notes - slide in so subtle, mysterious and almost evil sounding ❤ it

Nobody else does lyrics like Harper, nobody does guitar like Page. What a perfect collaboration!!!! 🎸🎸🎸
Who couldn't love this track? It's perfect!!!!!!
I had to ask my record dealer to import this back in '85 because I was such a Jimmy Page junkie. Still am. What a brilliant album.
The same for me in 1985...found this Album in Köln and was happy!
The Harper album that hardly gets a mention. Which is odd, because it's f*****g brilliant.
What else is new?

One of the very very few vinyls I won’t give up.
Vinyl
What a collaboration!!!!
Amazing song!!!
Fantastic album. Two of my favourite musicians!!!
I keep replaying this track... I just luv it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Roy is Jedi of music
such intense songs! He's the best songwriter ever for sure! I resonate with his darkness in this one. Must learn some of these songs.
One of my all time favourite albums ,tis trac in particular is a masterpiece.
Everyone must have this!!!
Still the stormcock rules......but this is one worth of full respect......HQ the best.....but who can tell....?
A classic for sure - I must get the album out again this weekend!
My best year 84 ,, I see him at stony cross 85 arter stone henge all hips went to stony x .
I too was at Stoney Cross, don’t remember much of it!
I was late to the Roy Harper thing - first album was "Death or Glory" closely followed by snagging everything i could. "Mans a bloody genius" i thought - and this album is up there as one of my favorite listens.
beautiful!
Proud to say I have WHTJ on vinyl. Harper's best, IMHO. Jimmy contributed immensely.
Me too, this is a brilliant album.
Top album
"hq" ALBUM and this album,,,,,"once" also,,,,,,,his best moments,,,,,,,
That's a digital acoustic guitar in the intro - or it sure sounds like one.
oh, sorry i forgot his best album called STORMCOCK.......
I thought I was the only one who thought this world we got going here is fucking insane. Wish we would band together and change it. Lol The system prevents that. Enjoy the nightmare!2023!
We will eventually. We may not be here to see it but it's coming. It always does. And it will be ugly and bloody. But none the less.

Problem is, I expect Roy is shielding and wearing masks like the lemmings of today.

I'm the father the son and the whole polluted system....
Is there any relationship between this song lyric and a novel written by George Orwell. The novel entitled 1984??
That book wad first published in 1949 which was 35 years before 1984. Guess what happened 35 years after. Mmmm

@@simonsimon325Spoilers! 😉
Whatever happened to 1985?!
