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.

Bimbles along...



Drums: Boom-Chack! Boom-Chack!

Immediately back to meandering along faintly weedily.

Starting to get wild and wacky with the vocal modulations.

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.

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

An Occasional Dream.

Beatles-y.

With touches of Herman's Hermits.

Floot.

This really reminds me of something else.

Wild Eyed Bork From Freecloud.

Ambitious rock-opera intro.

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

Harp!

This is the best track since Oddity.
