Indeed it was. CBS8351, entered the chart 7 October 1972, reached No 9. I
have often pondered the same question, John. Only the session men will know
for sure.... I also have a cheapo non-original version on one of those '12
Tops' compilations where Hammond/Leslie is used in place of the string
sound.

BTW How about Barry Biggs' 'Sideshow' (Feb 1977), sure sounds like 3 Violins
to me.... and that's another Reggae pop tune! Comments, anyone?
