The
summer of 1968 was spent writing and rehearsing in preparation for a
ten day recording session in Regent Studios organised by Jonathan King.
Drummer Chris Stewart had left the band to finish his studies at Charterhouse
and a new drummer, John Silver, stepped in.
It
was the time when budding musicians went to 'get their heads together
in the country' and for the band things were no different. Time was
spent at John Silver's parent's house in Oxford and in large country
house of the parent's of friend David Thomas in South Warnborough in
Hampshire.
It
was at South Warnborough that Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips wrote
the lyrics to 'Window' - taking inspiration from the idyllic countryside
setting.
