I actually heard the Imaginos version first (at the time my BOC knowledge
was spotty and only went back to FoUO).  I instantly liked it, and along with

along with Magna of Illusion is my favorite sequence.

Soon after that I picked up a vinyl of SEE primarily because it had
Astronomy on it, and, (heresy!) didn't like it at first, but it grew on me
until I pretty much like both versions equally now,  (ST and live '76 pretty
much included w/ SEE)...  Even when I make a tape using the old version,
though, I immediately follow it with Magna of Illusion...  They fit so
perfectly.  After chanting "A Star..."  it comes around with "It was no
star, but a magna of illusion..."

        That night, the captain's grandaughter, would celebrate her birthday
        "I've come a long way", said the captain, "from lost Christabel,
this night,
        accompanied by my dog..."

        "Granddaughter, it's a foreign mirror, taken from the jungle.."
