    Back when this song came out, I was at my uncle’s house and my cousin was playing this song on a reel to reel tape. Some time after that, I had a chance to choose a tape to get from the Columbia House Record and Tape Club. I thought of this song, but thought it was “Turn to Stop”. I looked through the catalog for albums available in reel format, and came across this album with “Turn to Stone” on it. I took a chance that it was the correct album, and it was. And what a great album it was.

      If you have the chance to listen the recent "Wembley or Bust" it's actually better than the studio albums - the execution is astonishing. With the benefit of technology that wasn't available 45 years ago - they do the whole thing live - it's absolutely stunning". With a band / orchestra of that size I guess it had to be a venue as big as Wembley to make it worthwhile. And it's definitely worthwhile.
