Always forget this isn’t a U.S. track. Solid gold all time classic.

Yeah, until recently I wrongly thought the US Prelude release was the original but no, it was licensed from the UK.

Some absolute classics on this thread, a very underrated genre. Some good stuff from one of its leading lights on this comp:

I can recall the exact moment I left this on the shelf in a record shop * facepalm *
edit: It was the weird record shop on Lower Marsh, Se1 that specialised in jazz & classical, run by two very eccentric and slightly grumpy old guys. If anyone can recall that one.
