About
"Hatfield and the North" is the first album by the English Canterbury scene rock band Hatfield and the North, released in February 1974. In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition "Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock", the album came #34 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums". The cover of the original vinyl release was designed by Laurie Lewis, photographer. The front and back outer cover is a panoramic photograph of Reykjavík, with the sky on the right merged with a transparency of a 15th-16th century fresco in Orvieto Cathedral by Luca Signorelli, "The Damned". The inside gatefold is a collage that includes photographs of the personnel and guests involved in the music, the cast of the TV show Bonanza, together with a cropped photograph by Jacques Henri Lartigue of a man throwing a dog.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
This appears to be the main first pressing from 1974 with coloured "twins" labels and fully-laminated gatefold sleeve.
Another early pressing (opens in a new tab), however, has the identical labels and sleeve, but different mastering and a matrix number, "V 2008 A1M", which refers to the A1(M) motorway, home of the original directional sign for "Hatfield and the North".
At this time it is not known which pressing came first.
First Cat.# on cover spine, 2nd on cover back and labels.
Recorded at The Manor studios in 1973.
Runouts are stamped. Matrix# on labels appear upside down.
