A Spanish (Munster Records, I think) release of the 4-song "live" EP.  All
4 songs are now available "offically" between the WotT 2-CD set and the new
remasters.  I have a copy on 10" vinyl ...

This was a German-released "live" album of their second German tour (the
first one had John Frankovic of Plasticland filling in for Richard Franecki
before he quit the band, the third German tour was a "Ginger Baker's
Hawkwind"-type affair where their ex-drummer put together a fake F/i for
the tour!).  And to tie in with one of your other questions, it includes a
*great* cover of "Flying Hay (like a sheep)" by Marble Sheep (and also an
*awful* cover of "2000 Light Years From Home" that the band blame on said
ex-drummer).  It won't be part of the Lexicon Devil reissue program,
although most of the songs originally appeared (studio versions) on albums
that will be.  It also includes one of their very, very few "vocal"
numbers, "Stop At The Left", which orignally appeared on the 'Badger A Go
Go' compilation (I have pestered Lexicon Devil about including the studio
version as a bonus track, but I think that's up in the air).

Not sure about that.  I can ask folks who would know.  Of course, I still
wish that someone would reissue the first Marble Sheep album on Alchemy.
That's one you don't have to feel guilty about burning copies of!
