Nine Feet Underground

"Nine Feet Underground" is credited to all four band members but was written by Dave Sinclair, who assembled it from pieces he had written. Its parts are "Nigel Blows a Tune", "Love's a Friend", "Make It 76", "Dance of the Seven Paper Hankies", "Hold Grandad by the Nose", "Honest I Did!", "Disassociation" and "100% Proof". Sinclair told Rambling on Music that he lived in a basement flat in central Canterbury and the piece centered around the Gm9 chord, and that his cousin Nigel Blow suggested a chord change that led to the first part. Hastings sings "Love's a Friend" and Richard Sinclair "Disassociation"; Sinclair played most solos on fuzztone organ or piano, on a Hammond A100.

It was recorded in sections, five by Wikipedia's count, separately from the AIR sessions at Decca Studios in September 1970, and edited together by Hitchcock and the engineer Dave Grinsted; Sinclair said the editing was quite a feat compared with today. Jimmy Hastings plays reeds. Richard Sinclair calls it amazing, and Stephen Lambe sees it as a symbol of a whole movement. It was a late-night FM radio staple in the early 1970s.

A BBC Top Gear session of it was broadcast on March 29, 1971, and a John Peel Sunday Concert recorded at the Paris Theatre on May 6, 1971 and broadcast on May 16 runs 14:27, on The Show of Our Lives (2007) and Green Bottles for Marjorie (2002). Later versions include NEARfest in 2002, the Astoria in London and Metropolis Studios in 2010. Setlist.fm counts 120 performances, their most played song. Our upload is titled with the suite and the album together. No covers or samples were found.
