 Notes  
     Kevin Ayers was one of rock's oddest and more likable enigmas, even if he
     often seemed not to operate at his highest potential. Perhaps that's
     because he never seemed to have taken his music too seriously - one of his
     essential charms and most aggravating limitations. After the late '60s, he
     released many albums with a distinctly British sensibility, making ordinary
     lyrical subjects seem extraordinary with his rich low vocals, inventive
     wordplay, and bemused, relaxed attitude.
     Apt to flavor his songs with female backup choruses and exotic island
     rhythms, the singer/songwriter inspired the image of a sort of progressive
     rock beach bum, writing about life's absurdities with a celebratory,
     relaxed detachment. Yet he was also one of progressive rock's more
     important (and more humane) innovators, helping to launch Soft Machine as
     their original bassist, and working with noted European progressive
     musicians like Mike Oldfield, Lol Coxhill, and SteveHillage.
     The Soft Machine, not long after recording their first album and touring
     America, began breaking up - just the first in a long series of personnel
     changes and subsequent new directions that formed one of art rock's winding
     sagas of the '70s. Kevin Ayers was the first to leave, mostly because of
     that American tour, and he soon became one of the first acts to release
     music on Harvest, a new progressive label from EMI that promised to offer
     the best and brightest in the new vanguard of British rock.
     Ayers recorded and released five albums over the next five years, all of
     which appear remastered on separate discs of "The Harvest Years 1969-1974",
     and each of which comes with bonus tracks (most of them entertaining BBC
     sessions). Ayers was quite the chameleon during this time, beginning with a
     set of psychedelic-pop whimsy akin to Syd Barrett (Joy of a Toy) but soon
     detouring into free-form epic prog (Shooting at the Moon, with young
     hotshot guitarist Mike Oldfield), and later arriving at a surprisingly
     straight-ahead vision of bluesy pop (Bananamour).
     The set offers the albums in the best sound they've ever been heard, and
     the bonus tracks are excellent as well. The unavoidable caveat comes,
     though. Why not include all the bonus tracks from previous editions,
     especially when they include a track actually recorded with Syd Barrett?
     (That would be 'Religious Experience (Singing a Song in the Morning)',
     available on the 2003 Joy of a Toy reissue.) Quibbles aside, this is a
     hugely entertaining set from one of art rock's most beguiling figures.
