Born in Captivity II is a 1992 live album by English folk/rock singer-songwriter Roy Harper.
History
The album was released as a limited edition (2,000) cassette available by mail order. Though the album is out of print, it has remained popular with Harper fans due to its sound quality, song selection and the standard of performance recorded. It is very true to the 'live experience'.[1]
Harper's son, Nick Harper, makes guest appearances playing guitar on a number of songs, and English cricketer Graeme Fowler makes an appearance playing drums on the song "Hope". According to Harper's spoken introduction "Three Hundred Words" was written for Fowlers benefit concert.
The album was re-released in 1993 as Unhinged, and re-issued again in 1995 (with a different cover) on Harper's own label, Science Friction (HUCD020). Neither of these CD releases contain all 14 of the original tracks found on the cassette, probably due to the time constraints of the CD format compared to the original C90 cassette. ("Short and Sweet" and the poem "Yet" have been omitted from the CD reissues).
