The first trip to Amsterdam ended after a weekend. We had meant to stay for four or five days, but spent all of our money. The second trip went on for a bit longer, or it felt like it did. Time very quickly lost all meaning when, on our first full day there, we dropped a load of acid and set out across the city making random purchases. And the album this track comes from, ‘Weekend With Keith Tippett – Live At Ronnie Scott's’ was one of them. Myself, Dave, Jim and whoever else . . . Vin, Pete?? Sat down at a record shop listening bar and this was playing at the time. We all demanded a copy and started listening with headphones on. I bought a copy and so did at least one other. To call it an impulse buy would be an understatement. Having said that, it still sounds great and very much captures a moment in time. Sun kissed, just like the day it bought on.
