	Damned album ! I had an especially good stereo with automatic
	changer. It always put the needle down in the same spot.
	One night, during a party after much 'substance' ... well let's
	just say that we *did* inhale ... someone bumped the unit
	at the critical moment and this whole new track appeared on 
	a disk we had listened to a dozen times before. Strange
	sensation to say the least. 

	Alas, I bought another disk some years later and it was the
	normal two sides. The third side must have been a first
	pressing gimmick ...
