This was a really underrated band. For that time , it was so fucking good. I was 11years old, when i heard them for the first time. They got me right away. 👍👍👍👍, thx leds. Mel pritchard, RIP.

[@Farweasel]

Way underrated band. Better than most of the better known bands they were 'compared to' at the time in fact. Who else made anything of the standard of 'Dark now my Sky'? Pink Floyd, Genesis & later Yes are about the full list.

Octoberon - A masterpiece.

This is a true story.Many, many years ago( it was actually 1972) i was living at home with my parents and younger brother.in Nottingham. It was about ten o clock at night and there was a knock at the door. My dad got up off the sofa to answer it.. He came back a moment later with a guy who was from BBC Radio Nottingham. He was supposed to be making a programme called On The Street where you live, for broadcast the next day, but was hopelessly running short of time and music . He spoke with me and my brother, and then asked if we knew of a very LONG record that he could use to fill time on the programme. Did we know a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGG record.?Is Paris in France. We asked for Mockingbird by the Barclays, and he DULY obliged. He played the song on the programme the next day, and because i was well in with the Factory Girls at the firm where i worked, they let me listen to radio Nottingham. It was magic hearing Mockingbird( the WHOLE 6 minutes and 41 seconds). What a band.

Mel Pritchard you are in heaven plays drums with George Harrison! Thank you for your sound!

[@flysino]

Intro reminds me Another brick in the wall bass and riff (especially the film version)!

[@wilfer677]

al parecer la intro fue plagiada por Pink Floyd ya que esta rola salió en 1976, Y another brick on the wall es del año 1979, juzguen ustedes

Bonifiés avec le temps, plus jazz et pop que lors du concert de 1978 à Genève 👌

[@aizunokami5639]

Best live performance of this song ever ....

[@tonymeads4693]

MAGIC !

[@CaseyVan]

He has a trippy voice. It's like a cross between Jon Anderson, Justin Hayward, Neil Young, and REO Speedwagon. He should take that as a compliment though because I love all those singers.

[@jerryonspeed]

[@Farweasel]

I know some of BJH's stuff But when this strted up I thought they were launching into 'Floyd's 'Run'

[@markpritchard4447]

The riff at the end (6:43) is a dead ringer for a track called Babylon by Sad Cafe

[@BJHFLH]

Well spotted! That's because Mike Byron-Hehir and Ian Wilson were in Sad Cafe!

[@markpritchard4447]
