''Lifemask'' is the sixth album by English folk / rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Roy Harper, and was first released in 1973 by Harvest Records. ==History== ''Lifemask'' was written by Harper during a period of illness when HHT, which leads to polycythemia, threatened his health and incapacitated him. With thoughts of life and death upon his mind, side two of the album features a lengthy 23 minute track entitled "The Lord's Prayer" which Harper described as "my last will and testament". The gatefold album cover is a representation of Harper's 'death mask'.〔(Mojo magazine album review )〕 that opens centrally to reveal Harper, very much alive, "fixing the listener with one of his trademarked intense stares."〔(Mojo magazine album review )〕 As such it, in fact, shows Harper's 'life mask' as opposed to the death mask it could have been. Some of the songs were included in the soundtrack for the John Mackenzie-directed film Made which was on general release at the time, the story of a relationship between a young single mother, played by Carol White, and an insecure rock star, 'Mike Preston' played by Harper. In 1987 Awareness Records released a cassette of ''Lifemask'' (AWT 1007) containing 4 bonus tracks, however these tracks were not included on the 1990 Awareness Records CD (AWCD 1007) release. 〔(Fan site discography )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lifemask」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
