Track 1 from their seventh album “Wonderworld” released in 1974 copyright Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany. This was the last album to feature their incredibly talented bassist Gary Thain. His drug addiction affected his ability to perform and he was fired from the band in early 1975. He died of a heroin overdose later that year in London at the age of twenty-seven. The album received average and mixed reviews but again sold well in Europe & Scandinavia, reaching the Top 10 in five countries, No. 31 in Canada and No. 38 on the Billboard chart.
