Albatross was the (I was going to say song but that's not right) piece of music that got me into FM in the first place.
The BBC used it on a sports programme (slow motion action of hurdlers) and when they said it was FM I was astounded! As you say a hardore bluesman like Peter comes up with such a wonderful instrumental. Apparently he wrote it when he was on a plane.
After that I got the original Greatest Hits for Christmas, found out the band hand changed somewhat, saw them play live in '73 and bought Penguin and the rest as they say is history. They then had the dubious honour of being "my band"

PS I haven't listened to it in a long time - I must put that right this evening.
