The SACD liner notes indicate that "Island" was the
only song recorded for an immediate follow-up to
"Seventh Sojourn", then the project was aborted for
lack of spirited interest.

"Island" would seem to be an authentic MB recording as
it was one ofthe four bonus tracks on the SACD release
of Seventh Sojourn that cameout in April of this year.

I found that song on YouTube a while ago. It sounds
like the real 
deal to me; from both the application of
mellotron/chamberlin andthe 
drum work. The drumming sounds (to me) very much like
Greame Edge of 
the early 70's. 
  
I had a copy of 'Blue Jays' (now lost), where Hayward
and Lodge tried 
to keep working after '74. The sound is very
MoodyBlues-lite, but 
showed the sensitivity of the old Moodies to personnel
changes. That 
makes it hard for me to believe "Islands" is a Hayward
solo effort. 
  
Does anybody here actually know the pedigree of that
song?
