• In October 2008, Martin Turner said this track "harks back to the '60s... I had in mind us young lads when we first started going down to the local pub drinking cider, singing songs and generally getting fairly drunk and disorderly. I was never that happy with the recording of this one - it should have been looser and scruffy even but everyone did their best with it at the time."
  
  Although this is a song that could easily have been written by a veteran rock star reminiscing about the good old days, Turner was actually speaking of events that happened more than 35 years ago; "Sing Out The Song" is the 7^th track on Wishbone Four, released in the UK May 1973 on the MCA label. Like the rest of the album, it is a group composition; it also has a semi-acoustic almost folkish feel to it totally unlike the duel lead guitar sound for which the band were already then becoming known. >>>
