I am trying to identify a song from a tape my dad recorded from WGTB in DC circa 1974-75.  This was in a set that included Eloy, Utopia, and Klaus Schulze... I have not been able to figure this one out.

Anyone recognize it?

there's an iphone app that can identify songs, that may be worth a try.

of course you can also google the lyrics,

i don't know the song myself so i can't help more

I've already tried Googling the lyrics, no dice. So I doubt the iPhone app will have more luck Ermm

Yes, I already tried the obvious googling of lyrics and iPhone apps.

The sound quality is actually better than the sample in the link, I compressed it for fast download and so no one would accuse me of 'distributing' the song. It sounds no worse on my source tape than the Eloy song that follows it.

For an interesting history of WGTB, check this out:

I was about 13 at the time, but already into ELP, King Crimson, etc.
