It's on the bit after the 'first finale'; they never knew when to stop.
I think it's Strings and Mk II brass, pretty much randomly battered by
Wright.

What's not to like about the cello parts on side one? It modulates

Summer 68 has been a favourite of mine since the day I heard it in 1978.
Some /great/ chord changes on the brass interlude.
