That would be Friends and Relations #1 (the best of the lot, IMHO),
which also has Robot.

Upon reflection, I agree. While that version of TWL doesn't make me gag,
there are certainly better ones. The segue is good. Do you serve a red or
white wine with segue? :-)

Indeed, a diversity which is wonderful, and baffling.

Very "ob", with Teenage Wind, Charlie's Enormous Mouth, Suicide Chump,
Jumbo Go Away, and . . . others . . . (tracks 14-16) ;-)

It's a shame that the CD (even the final Ryko version) is flawed,
compared to the vinyl.

obVINYLplayer--L'oeuvre D'orgue (5) by J. S. Bach; Michel Chapuis, organ;
pressed on Virgin Vinyl on the Valois label. Now if I could only find
others in this series! :-P

"For purists, nothing can replace the particular resonance of a debut
play on new vinyl. But where the vinyl is recycled, the pressing is poor,
and the hi-fi really isn't, I'll take the CDs - for now." --Robert Fripp
