Thanks for your contributions to prog rock, Kevin Ayers.... rest in peace, gentle man.

What a great song... the intro adds so much to it, I think

[royrashbrook]

Did you know that the short "outro" melody that Mike plays at 4:34 is a quote from "Champagne Cowboy Blues" - a song Mike and Kevin wrote together for 1971's "Whatevershebringswesing"?

Well - you do now.

[NicolasxDeutsch]

Wow, love this extended version. Mike sure does compose and produce some magical pieces. But Kevin's vocals here are magnificent, too.

this extended version is super but I've always loved the original one too

[MadTheDJ]

Sometimes a subtle change is all a song needs to go from good to great!

Nunca te olvidaremos, Kevin. Gracias por tu música.

"Flying Start" is also on the Kevin Ayers album "Falling Up".

mes 15ans, skateboard, et amitié profonde et sorti de l'enfance...souvenir et tristesse, il me reste des bribes de mémoire adolescente fourvoyé et foudroyé dans l'incongruité de mes nuits salé au soleil de tout les étés.

Gyönyörű . És Mike Oldfield egy zseni . Látom magyar vagy

It's a pity that Island wasn't remastered like the others...
