On this compilation, the version of "I Talk To The Wind", recorded at 93A Brondesbury Road, London, England, UK, July 1968; it differs from the version released on "In The Court Of The Crimson King. The most notable difference is in the vocals, which are sung by Judy Dyble (Fairport Convention) rather than Greg Lake. This version is also available on The Brondesbury Tapes (1968) under the name of Giles, Giles and Fripp.
