“You And Me” by The Moody Blues

"You And Me" sits on Seventh Sojourn, the Moody Blues album that came out in October 1972, and it's a joint effort between Justin Hayward and drummer Graeme Edge. Tony Clarke produced and engineered it with Derek Varnals, with David Baker assisting.

There's no grand concept holding the record together this time, just songs, though John Lodge likened it, loosely, to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: stories, told in music. The sessions were an unhappy stretch for the band, and Edge later admitted the album was his least favourite back then, until he came back to it years on and heard how good it was. It turned into their first number-one album in America, and it was also the last one they made together until Octave in 1978.
