Hatfield and the North is the first album by the English Canterbury scene rock band Hatfield and the North, released on 1 March 1974.
In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came #34 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums".[2] In 2025, French label Musea Records released a new vinyl reissue of the album, the first since 1982.[3]
The cover of the original vinyl release was designed by Laurie Lewis. The front and back outer cover is a panoramic photograph of Reykjavík, with the sky on the right merged with a transparency of a 15th-16th century fresco in Orvieto Cathedral by Luca Signorelli, "The Damned". The inside gatefold is a collage that includes photographs of the personnel and guests involved in the music, the cast of the TV show Bonanza, together with a cropped photograph by Jacques Henri Lartigue of a man throwing a dog.[4]
