With new lyrics by Finnish singer/songwriter this cover version is called "Epitaph (tuulet kirkuu hautoihin)" - roughly translated ``Epitaph (winds scream into the graves)''.

The Court of the Crimson King
Impressive live version on double LP recorded at Ohsaka Festival Hall 25 April 1975. Audience reaction makes this band sound as popular as The Beatles!

I Believe In Father Christmas (w/ Lake)

Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas promo video

2001 BBC Christmas Special
"This song complete with 60 piece orchestra and 30 piece choir despite selling up to 50,000 a day was beaten to the No1 spot in the UK Xmas '75 by some long forgotten band singing something or other rhapsody Bahamian I think it was, but we did leave Laurel and Hardy under their Lonesome Pine way behind in third place." PjS

I Believe in Father Christmas has become, after Think Twice and 21st Century Schizoid Man, Peter's most oft covered song. For a separate listing of the cover versions of I Believe In Father Christmas, click here.

Epitaph
"Double LP recorded in August 1979. Hideki Saijo is a very famous talent in Japan. He made his debut as an idol singer and turned into an actor. I heard a rumor that he played 'In the Court of Crimson King' on the stage. But this is not confirmed." - Yoshifumi Nagata (writer for the Japanese music monthly magazine, GOLD WAX)
