The song's title is "Soon, Soon, Soon" and its composer is Kevin Ayers, the guitarist and singer in this version. It was recorded by Ayers in Sept 1969 for release as a single, but it remained unavailable until it appeared in 1976 on a compilation of Ayers' odd ditties on the EMI Harvest label, entitled, oddly enough, "Odd Ditties." Ayers was usually billed as the bass player for the (early) Softs, so this document of his appearance with an electric 12-string guitar is a pleasant revelation.
This is very early pre-jazz Soft Matchine. Pink Floid and Soft Machine were at some of the same shows (early years). Note the Barrett influence in this song. I'm not sure if this song made it on any of Soft Machine's records. What a find! Good thing they went jazz later on.
still very good! (and different from the mainstream!). And listen to the lyrics!
