[Dm] [Gm] [Am] Cat Food, [Bb] an [G] unreleased alternative [Am] mix.
[Bb] [Cm] [Dm]
[Gm] Cat Food [Am] was first [Bb] released as a [Dm] single [G] in March 1970.
[C]
It was also [Gm] the occasion of King [F] Crimson's one and only [Fm] appearance [Bb] on the [D] BBC's [Gm] Top of the Pops [C] show.
[Gm] The song has some [C] unusual time [G] signatures for a mainstream [C] audience, [E] almost [Gb] as if there are [G] missing beats,
[C] and Robert Fripp has often [Gb] remarked at the strange experience [C] of seeing [Gm] the dancers trying to sway along to it,
while the band mimed badly [C] at the cameras.
[Bb]
[Db] [D] This footage was believed to be lost for many years, having been wiped by [F] the BBC,
who must have destroyed more [Gm] treasures [Db] than most [Cm] companies [G] have ever owned.
[C]
[Gm] Unfortunately, [Bm] it was licensed [Db] at the time [Gm] to a German company, [B] Hitz [Bb]-A-Go-Go,
[Dm] and that version has recently [Gbm] resurfaced.
[Bb]
[G] The single of Cat Food also had an added significance at the time,
as several [F] months earlier, Greg Lake, Michael [G] Giles and Ian MacDonald had all announced that they were leaving King Crimson,
and the release of this single showed the determination [F] [E] of Robert [Eb] Fripp and Peter Sinfield [D] to [Gm] continue the band.
Although [F] Greg Lake and [Eb] Michael Giles do [D] of course [Db] both appear [G] on the single and on the album [D] in the wake of Poseidon, [C] which followed it.
[D] [G]
This particular mix contains a few elements that [C] don't appear [Gbm] on the officially [C] released version,
[Gb] and [Gm] it's [C] missing the lead electric guitar lines at [D] the end,
although this does have the added benefit [C] of throwing the spotlight onto Keith [A] Tippett's [Dm] wonderful piano part,
[Gm] which is loud and proud [C] throughout.
[D] [G] [C]
[D] [Db] [Dm] So here it is, an [Bb] unreleased alternative mix of Cat Food.
