...don't forget the amazing version by The Scorpions (Ted and John Barber and Ivor Knight) which I first heard on the Instrumental Gems LP on the EMI NUT label...

Come to think of it, Jet does a version on his 'inside' live album from 1977, and I think he may have demoed it in the studio too at about the same time.
