Handwritten lyrics to ‘The Race Is On,’ on an off-white 5 x 8 lightly-lined sheet of notebook paper, all written in the hand of Anderson. Lyrics read:
“The Race Is On
Yesterday a morning come
A smile upon your face
Ceasar's palace morning glory
Silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere
Leading anyplace
If the summer changed to winter
Yours is no disgrace
Battle ships confide in me
And tell me where you are.
Shining flying purple wolf hounds
Show me where you are
Lost in summer born in winter
Travelled very far
Lost in loosing circumstances
Singing on a star.
In a dream I saw two pages
Catch a train to all the races on
The race is on. The race is on.”
Reverse bears more lyrics to an unknown song in an unknown hand. In fine condition, with mild show-through from lyrics on reverse. Accompanied by a glossy 10 x 8 group photo and a letter from Roy Flynn that reads "To Whom It May Concern. Atlantic records printed an insert of the lyrics in the Early LP's for 'Yes'. I got John Anderson to write out the lyrics, and my secretary typed them out (see carbon copy) for the record company.” Also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Provenance: Bonham’s 2009.
