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 was 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]
