I found that song on YouTube a while ago. It sounds like the real
deal to me; from both the application of mellotron/chamberlin and the
drum work. The drumming sounds (to me) very much like Greame Edge of
the early 70's.
I had a copy of 'Blue Jays' (now lost), where Hayward and Lodge tried
to keep working after '74. The sound is very MoodyBlues-lite, but
showed the sensitivity of the old Moodies to personnel changes. That
makes it hard for me to believe "Islands" is a Hayward solo effort.
Does anybody here actually know the pedigree of that song?
