J.S. Bach was always hip for his time and arguably never more so than as interpreted here by early 70's pop/rock outfit Jigsaw with their fiery and exciting version of "Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring". This is indeed the album version from "Letherslade Farm" and I'd love to know if the album is still around anywhere? The single version got loads of play (mainly I think by Kid Jenson) on Radio "Lucky" Luxembourg. It also has a fine B Side "No Questions Asked." Time for a reissue I think.
"DOWNLOAD"...this is exactly why the music industry as well as music stores closing down. Downloading is nothing more but legalized bootlegging. THis is a great song. I thought that it was Emerson Leg and Palmer except for the synthsizer missing and Emerson did not use a saxaphone in their recordings.
@2003Brad Disgruntled record store owner and/or trader pushing his own little agenda? Rants like these are what's making the record industry self destruct. If they knew what's best for'em this song would be available as a legal download for $1. It's likely this recording was only ever available in record stores in the 70s. Yet another opportunity lost for the industry you claim to support.
I think this must be an album version as the section 2.04 - 3.15 is missing from the single I have, which I bought at the time of release, and incidentally is the same number as your copy.
Anyone heard of All Blues by Miles Davis ;)......

I prefer the shortened single version.

While it's a good version, I like the Apollo 100 rip off slightly better.

1971 was, I believe, the year before Apollo 100 had a hit with this song, at least in the U.S.
