my older brother gave me 2nd hand cassette of this album for my birthday when i was around 13, played it over & over for couple of years, but then lost it & got into other stuff. so had completely forgotten about it, but just accidently stumbled on this upload, & what's amazing is all this is still in my back of my head but just needed unlocking. cheers

[ddoubles96]

I owned this album when it was first released. Great times, great music. The times are now, because now is the morning of our lives

hello. is there a studio version of this superb song?

[duskatmaureens]

@cinelover

There's a crisp version of this on the album 23 Great Recordings—you can hear the crowd a little bit, but it's great quality

[jandeksmith]

@cinelover Not to my knowledge. and have been a Jonathan fan since the 1970s
