CATALAN

Catalan was released as a single in 1975 to promote the Time and Tide album. The single version of Catalan is an edit with a running time of 3:52 compared to the album version's 5:06. The edited version appears on CD for the first time as a bonus track on the 2019 Esoteric Recordings re-issue of Time and Tide. Given that it was always the instrumentals that stood out on Greenslade's albums, it was a good and brave choice to pick an instrumental for release as a single. And Catalan works well as a single a-side.

With Catalan representing the instrumental side of Greenslade, the vocal side of the band is represented by Animal Farm, which is the b-side on this single. Not a bad single, but it adds little of value to the album.
