Horns as just fades out.

Silly laughing outtake bit.

Like the end credit sequences in Smokey and the Bandit.

Letter to Hermione is quite sweet.

You can hear a lot of what was to come from him...

There's a little melodic passage in this that's like another later song of his.

"I'm not sure what do, so I suppose I'll just write to you".

That bit.

This one's about the AGM of The Swans of Great Britain (SGB), held on the Thames near Goring.

That meeting doesn't last as long as this song though. sad yes

Starting to get wild and wacky with the vocal modulations.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:28 pm

This is better.

Still, all the songs lack the thrilling, mercurial brilliance of much of what was to come.

They're flat by comparison - missing an extra dimension, a baroquery of some description.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:28 pm

Still, you can hear that he's already a powerful performer.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:29 pm

An Occasional Dream.

Beatles-y.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:29 pm

With touches of Herman's Hermits. shifty

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:30 pm

Floot.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:30 pm

This really reminds me of something else.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:31 pm

Wild Eyed Bork From Freecloud.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:32 pm

Ambitious rock-opera intro.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:33 pm

I fear it's going to all "Grocer Jack" any minute.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:33 pm

Harp!

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:34 pm

This is the best track since Oddity.
