Lammy (14:05) is found on the second side of the original Jan Akkerman album Tabernakel, released in 1974. It features organ, guitars, sitars, drums and lute and ends with an amazing choral Amen. It is composed by Jan Akkerman and George Flynn but incorporates a lute piece by the eraly composer Anthonie Holborne. It is in six parts and is named for Akkerman's then wife. It is my favourite of the type.
As with so much else, the Beatles were the pioneers. They worked out that by stringing together a series of shorter songs a pleasing longer piece can be assembled. Where they led many others followed.
