Before Barclay James Harvest found their strong fanbase, they had already had four albums in release off the Harvest label. Their second album was Once Again, which was recorded with orchestral accompaniments and released in 1971.

On January 27 of 2023, the Esoteric label (Cherry Red UK) will revisit Once Again for its 50 Anniversary to deliver a 3CD/BD box. Inside the box will feature the original album remastered, a new 5.1 Surround remix along with a new Stereo remix of the album, and a bonus collection that adds rare John Peel concert performance tracks from 1971, a batch of outtakes, and new remasters of the 1972 Quadrophonic SQ mix. The box will include a well-rounded booklet with all the usual expectations. A replica 1971 poster is packed in.
