Definitely one for fans of Michael Giles this one. Stripped of Mellotron and Greg Lake's sonorous multi-tracked vocals, we get an intimate view of the ITWOP rhythm section in action. Of particular interest to fans of the track will be the fact that this is the unedited coda, continuing well past the point when the album version faded out.
