- Homburg (The forgotten follow-up single, equally baroque)
- Quite Rightly So
- Shine on Brightly (The proto-prog epic)
- Skip Softly (My Moonbeams)
- Bit depth: 16-bit typical if sourced from CD; 24-bit if from remasters/tape transfers.

Recommendation:
If you are building a "High Fidelity" library of classic rock, this is a must-have. The FLAC format transforms this from background music into a front-row concert experience. It rescues the band's intricate arrangements from the "lo-fi" dustbin of history and presents them as the serious musical achievements they are.
