        Bootleg it be! Ah-ha me maytey! -cough- If you don't have it yet, get
Magnesium Proverbs, which is the classic Syd bootleg. On the rare Syd
song front - there's still no "Have you got it yet?" available, as this
was just a little Syd-joke, but there may be "Bob Dylan Blues", "Rooftop
Garden Missing the Point", "Rammadan" and a couple of others still in
the vaults somewhere.
