    I think "SDitN" was recorded by Steve Swindells for his solo album
after he left HW, so I guess that makes it an original HW recording.  The
only other thing which I can think of that comes close is a cover of
Zappa's "City of Tiny Lights" which I think got played on an Agents of
Chaos tour in the early 80s?  I think there was also a mid-80s gig where
Brock didn't show up and HLL had them doing loads of Hendrix covers or
something ;)  I'm not sure that any of that stuff (FZ or Hendrix) was
recorded (officially anyway).

    BTW, having grown tired of receiving endless number of fancy-format
messages I couldn't read I've decided to become part of the problem and get
a fancy-email program.  Hope this is all readable :)

Cheers,
Carl
