More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

Unique bounce to this one...slower than usual for '74, but still neat.

The first version I heard; made me fall in love with the song...
Sing Me Back Home

The Spectrum

I favour the E72 versions for the warmth of Pig's organ, with 5/4 Paris being my all-time fav, but this one is great for sure.

War Memorial

Maybe not the very best, but better than most! In the upper-echelon, for sure...

War Memorial

One of the best I've heard!

Beautiful version that captures the dreamy vibe of the studio version well...
