Valentine, released on that day in 1974, is a collection of tracks that Roy Harper recorded during the early '70s which did not include on either Stormcock or Lifemask.
The fact that this album somehow gels is testimony to just how talented Harper was at this point in his career.
All Harper albums have stellar cameos, and this one is no different.
Jimmy Page adds devastating lead guitar to "Male Chauvinist Pig Blues," even though the acoustic version the duo released on Flashes from the Archives of Oblivion is still superior.
In addition, David Bedford continues his streak of outstanding string arrangements on Harper albums with particularly winning versions for "I'll See You Again" and "Commune."
The instrumental "Che" is a reminder of Harper's astounding and influential acoustic guitar technique, while "Twelve Hours of Sunset" rivals "Waterloo Sunset" as one of most beautiful songs in the English language.
While not as high-profile as Stormcock or HQ, Valentine can be numbered among Harper's best work

LABELS: MINT
An immaculate pair of factory-fresh labels - no spindle traces or any signs the record has ever been played

Both surfaces are unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: MINT
In keeping with the records possibly unplayed status my one careful play-check at volume found nothing to fault - plays beautifully with a clean, deep, rich and warm sound
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some general light marks to the surfaces (nothing major) the sleeve is crisp, sharp and unworn
