On this day in 1974, we recorded ‘Ten Years Gone’ — a song that I had brought to the party at Headley Grange. I’d already worked out the guitar orchestration for this at my home studio in Plumpton. Robert caught the mood immediately and wrote timeless lyrics to this timeless song.

We also began the recording of ‘Trampled Under Foot’ on this day, with the working title ‘Brandy and Coke’. ‘Trampled Under Foot’ developed in situ and was kicked off by John Paul Jones.
