...dropped 60,000 barrels a day because of the war, the oilmen insist that they have no intention of interfering in an attempt to achieve a ceasefire. Two weeks ago, to step up the pressure, one of Ojukwu's rocket-equipped Swedish planes hedgehopped to a Gulf tank farm at the mouth of the Escravos River.

Win-wood's composition, Can't Find My Way Home, is a farm-fresh plaint, which he sings in a sad falsetto over Baker's insinuating brushwork and the harpsichord-like plucking of two acoustic guitars. Blind Faith's version of the old Buddy Holly tune, Well All Right, skips along with a blithe country feeling, and Clapton's Presence...
