That isn't a seventies song--it's a classic.

@BrianDeYoung64 It's a compilation of all of our demos, most of which were recorded in an hour or three. It was recorded in England before we signed to Chrysalis, or any other company.However, the tapes were stolen and all sorts of people have illegally released and sold licences on it.
Personally, I have no problems with people honestly buying it. I have other feelings towards those who stole.& illegally released it.
It's substandard, obviously, but it's also a historically fascinating album.

@russellmilkins You're more than welcome. Funnily enough, the open tuning secret is precisely why so many people struggle to get it to sound right. I get a big thrill from being able to 'unlock' the padlock for those giving it a go on this one, so to speak.
On reflection, I actually think I wrote the music for it back in 1974 as we played it when we were only a 2 piece with Brock sessioning on drums. I knew it was a very special piece when I wrote it. As a piece of work I couldn't put it down.

thank you MC, I will endeavour to get it right :) the song deserves it
@russellmilkins Let me give you a helping hand. The guitar part is written and played in an open tuning. ie; try tuning your strings to the chord of E Major by raising the 3rd string (G) by a semi-tone to G#, then raise the fourth string (D) string by a full tone to E and finally raise the fifth string (A) to B, by a full tone also. You will then get more of the EQ feel of the chords by doing this as that is how I found the inspiration to write it, back in 1975.
Have a great 50th.
MC.
