Does anybody know if Simon King's (I assume) drum tracks for Levitation
still exist?  If so, I for one would be interested to have this released as
another collector's series thang.  I can only imagine that it would sound
*completely* different than the one we have heard all these years.  Baker's
drumming was so entirely different than any other drummer HW has ever had!
I guess we know what Motorway City sounds like with King from the Live '79
album, but that version was different in other ways too.
