First Generation CD - the best track by a parsec (IMO)(Theme One) - Was written by a George Martin - who is he ? There is a theme in my prog-listening where "Experimental" (i.e King Crimson - VDGG) - Usually means random notes and cacophony that could have been produced by a cat swatting a fly on a hammond whilst somebody else plays random blasts on an old Saxophone.....tis a shame that nice licks (esp the start of Plague..... are not developed by organ/piano/acoustic and electric guitars...then it would have been a LOT better !! Perhaps it's just me that sees that the Crimson King is in his birthday suit ?? ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

It isThe George Martin.The Beatle's Producer. It was written for a radio programme the title
of which escapes me but I think it was a current affairs type of thing. -------------

It was the theme for "The Friday Rock show" with DJ Tommy Vance on BBC Radio 1 starting @ 22:00 for 2 hours - I was an avid listener in my youth. ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

It was written for the above mentioned (my earlier post) programme circa 1967 I do believe. VdGG recorded it in 1971.It was a single,the b-side of which was the beautiful 'W'. -------------
