Volunteers... for all the reasons listed above, and also for the presence of the amazing Nicky Hopkins on piano. The lnog instrumental at the end of Hey Frederick is killer. Everybody plays to his peak (including double-tracked Jormas!). But Nicky held it all together.
For me it has to be After Bathing at Baxters but Volunteers or Crown of Creation would follow in a close second. My favourite song is probably Lather from Crown of Creation or Two Head from After Bathing At Baxters but i also love Watch Her Ride... Difficult to choose but, yep, definitely Baxters...
