Sorry, Clay - they were using a Mark II, and did right up through 'Live'.

I don't recall any choir on

Again, Mark II.

'Selling England' was actually Oct.'73, 2 months before 'Tales', according

Oct.'73.

'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight', 'Firsth of Fifth' and 'Cinema Show', I
think.

Well before.

How about "Hero and Heroine" by the Strawbs?

Following year.
