Roy Harper and Black Sheep 'Commercial Breaks' LP (Test Pressing) on Harvest, pressed in 1977, catalogue number SHSP 4077.
Unreleased test pressing with proof Sleeve
EMI original sleeve
V Rare
A dispute between EMI and Harper over funding and content prevented the planned release of this album (Harvest (SHSP 4077)) though a few test pressings do exist. Of the originally intended ten songs, seven were eventually released on the 1988 Awareness Records release Loony on the Bus (AWCD1011).
The album cover features logos, products and advertising, primarily from television commercials of the era. Most visible are the Smash Martian, Honey Monster, Michelin Man and a large pack of Wrigleys gum.
The band on this record were known as Black Sheep and included Andy Roberts, Henry McCullough, Dave Lawson, Dave Cochran and John Halsey. Dave Cochran was a member of Trigger, which was the band that made HQ.[2]
