Songs of Love and Loss

Songs of Love and Loss is the 11th compilation album by English folk/rock singer-songwriter Roy Harper

History

In early 2011, Roy Harper signed a deal with Believe Digital to release 19 of his albums, for the first time, to the digital market place. This 2 disc, 23 track, compilation was required as an introduction to lead the release campaign and contains songs from 11 of Harpers albums released between 1966 (Sophisticated Beggar) and 1992 (Death or Glory?). ^[1] The catalogue is to be released in batches of four over the year.^[2]

The album is presented in two volumes and, according to the artist, "...contains songs specially selected from their original records and digitally re-mastered to work as two dynamically unique albums in their own right". ^[3] According to The Guardian the album "...displays the unerring quality and startling originality of his [Harper's] writing". ^[4]

Songs of Love and Loss is also available as a download on Harpers website in both FLAC and MP3 format.^[5][6]
