    Some echoes of Brian Wilson/Beach Boys in parts. A fascinating song...

    Does anyone know where I can find the guitar chords for Dear Elaine? What a beautiful timeless piece it is.

    There's always something a bit scruffy and messy about Roy's arrangements which is very, very charming and endearing. Never too smooth or polished, it allows the emotion through wonderfully.

    I remember being utterly floored when this first came out, and it still has that effect. I think Roy Wood is some kind of minor genius
