  • Did "Quartz" cover this song?

  • @lughlongarm76 Hi there...I was trying to track down where I got the info about that. I can't seem to find it so maybe a friend told me since I've made a lot of contacts with British musicians from those days.

  • Haven't herd this since high school!! We use to lay back and just listen to the whole album!! 72- 74!!

  • @Sunchild333 Where'd you read that? That's interesting.

  • Na tym kształtowała się moja świadomość muzyczna!

  • I have the album for so long now...Time past and still a great one....I buy the CD too. Thanx !!!

  • @Anglagard1 Yeah well Giles could be now known worldwide as one of the best drummers ever, but he always prefered playing as a session musician. Fripp wanted to record Birdman as a King Crimson song though...

  • I guess it should be 1971...

  • Cunning Artificers!

  • Defined my teenage years....thank you JJT.....xxx
