"Work of Heart" is a 1982 album by Roy Harper and perhaps the most produced album of his career, featuring a full backing band.

History

The original album was released on Harpers own label, Public Records, formed with Mark Thompson, (son of nuclear campaigner E.P. Thompson). Additionally, the album was chosen by Derek Jewell of the The Sunday Times as "Album of the Year" in 1982.

The demo version of this album was later released (in 1984) on a limited edition (830 copies) vinyl release, entitled "Born in Captivity". The sound of "Born in Captivity" being more typical of Harper, featuring him and guitar only.

"Work of Heart" together with "Born in Captivity" form the Double CD version of this album currently available.

N.B. The songs "Jack of Hearts" and "No Woman is safe" are basically the same, containing identical lyrics.
