Harvest Records was a Record Label created by EMI in 1969 to promote Progressive Rock music and compete with Philips' Vertigo and Decca's Deram labels under the direction of Malcolm Jones and Norman Smith . Harvest was distributed in the US by EMI's US arm Capitol Records . It was home to such classic rock artists as Deep Purple , Pink Floyd , The Move , Electric Light Orchestra , Kevin Ayers and Little River Band . In 1970 the classic double Sampler Album Picnic was released. Harvest Records' focus changed slightly as the 1970s drew to a close, beginning with the signing of post-punk groups Wire , The Saints and The Banned . New Wave artists Thomas Dolby and Duran Duran released their debut albums on the label in the US and Canada . Iron Maiden 's first three albums were also released in the US by Capitol Records. After Pink Floyd released '' The Final Cut '' in 1983 , they moved label to EMI. Since 1984 the Harvest imprint has very rarely been used for new releases, although since 2001 a number of reissues, compilations and re-releases by acts from the label's early 1970s heyday have appeared.
