No way.

Radio 2 was playing Jimmy Edwards in those days.

In fact R2 was playing Jimmy Edwards right up until the '90s.

Bassline nicked from Come Together.

I like the cars speeding by/Doppler effect guitar bits.

Slight echoes of Syd Barrett.

And Gong.

The bass on this seems to have been a big influence on Abbey Road. Sly

Track 3 - One in a Million.

This is conceptually not dissimilar to side 2 of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 19, 2020 8:06 pm

It's getting more Easy Listening by the second.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 19, 2020 8:06 pm

It's like they heard Village Green Preservation Society and decided to out-twee it.

by Guest Thu Mar 19, 2020 8:06 pm

This is very Ogden's Nut Flake isn't it?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 19, 2020 8:07 pm

Of the three rubbish tracks we've had so far, this is the best.

by Guest Thu Mar 19, 2020 8:07 pm

It's no 21st Century Schizoid man is it?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Mar 19, 2020 8:08 pm

Track 4 - Call Tomorrow.
