Soft Machine - Harvest Albums 1975-1978 3CD

RELEASES ON THE 4/4/25

A newly re-mastered 3CD clamshell box set; "The Harvest Albums 1975 – 1978" by Soft Machine. After recording five highly acclaimed albums for the CBS Records label, Soft Machine signed a licencing deal with EMI’s “Progressive” imprint, Harvest Records in 1974 and would record two further studio albums and a live album for the label over the next three years.

"Bundles" was the band’s first for Harvest. An accessible collection, "Bundles" featured Holdsworth’s considerable guitar playing talents and opened a new chapter for the band, and attracted much praise upon release. By the time "Softs" was recorded, Allan Holdsworth had departed the group. The album also saw the final appearance on a Soft Machine album by Mike Ratledge whose synthesiser contributed to the pieces Ban-Ban Caliban and Song of Aeolus.

Soft Machine’s final album for Harvest was the classic 1978 live record "Alive and Well Recorded In Paris". The album was the result of several nights of excellent concerts staged at Le Palace Theatre in Monmartre, Paris in July 1977.

The Harvest Albums 1975 – 1978 features these classic albums along with a special poster.
