Orange (Al Stewart album)
Orange is the fourth studio album by Al Stewart, originally released in 1972, and re-released in 1996 and 2007 on CD. Generally regarded as a 'transitional album' between the confessional folk sounds of his first three albums and the historically themed albums of his more successful mid-1970s period, the album includes Rick Wakeman on piano as well as future Elvis Costello and the Attractions bassist Bruce Thomas.

gollark: Actually, better idea: *99%* of people (randomly picked) aren't allowed to vote, but can still go to the voting booth as usual and vote and whatnot, it's just not counted, and the people who are and aren't allowed don't know this.
gollark: So, effectively ban certain opinions?
gollark: But you're not told whether you're one of the 50%.
gollark: How about we just randomly ban 50% of people from voting?
