Elonkorjuu came from Pori, Finland and was founded in 1969. At first the sessions were done in a rather dark cellar; the musicians were young, talented and highly motivated. Already in the same year Elonkorjuu won the second place at a competition at Helsinki´s House of Culture. Short time after this the band´s success grow very fast. They toured through whole of Finland and quickly were well known. One of the band´s highlights was the gig at the rock festival in Turku, where they did act big ahead of hundred thousands youths, who went wild about the phantastic band. At the end of the same year they decided to make an LP, titled "Harvest Time"; unfortunately this already was the only LP of Elonkorjuu. The band outperformed by the compositorical qualities as well as by the professionel instrumental playing, which was signed by a great effortlessness. Its album recieved cult status of the progressive rock. The spectrumdid reach from real hardrock as in "Unfeeling" or "A Little Rock Song" to more sentimental sounds as in "Swords" or "Praise To Our Basement". The official reissue, which is offered here, comes with a wonderful 8-minutes bonus track. 180 gram vinyl and limited to 500 copies.
