Germ Patrol

An instrumental, side one track one of The Civil Surface.
Egg, from The Civil Surface (1974)

Wikipedia credits Campbell and Stewart, while MusicBrainz also lists Clive Brooks as a composer; it is an instrumental. Stewart plays organ, piano and electric piano, Campbell bass, French horn and piano and Brooks drums, with Lindsay Cooper on bassoon and oboe and Tim Hodgkinson on clarinet. It was recorded in August 1974 at Saturn Studios in Worthing. John Kelman of All About Jazz, reviewing the 2007 Esoteric reissue, placed it among the longer tracks where Stewart's jazz-leaning Canterbury style is most evident, linking it to Hatfield and the North while still sounding like Egg. Our upload is a fan audio rip, and we could not tell which pressing it came from. We found no statement on the piece, no live history, covers or samples.
