Background and composition

The statement that the song was recorded last as a filler, being an urban legend, isn't actually true. I found statements from Greg lake himself confirming that the legend is indeed true. Since there are no links to the stated "studio notes" confirming that the song was recorded early in the session, I feel it should be changed. ^[1] Naninnewetuah (talk) 23:40, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
