Moi, aussi.  I suspect that the Virgin CD's in the late 80's sold fewer
copies than the other 3 Virgin/Charisma albums ('Astounding', 'Quark',
'P.X.R.5', the first two of which were also available on Griffin), hence
it's the rarest.

Right, those screams aren't on the un-overdubbed 'Glastonbury Fayre'
version, are they?  (I'll have to double-check when I get home.)  They
don't really sound like Nik to me, but they don't sound like Dave, Bob, or
Lemmy, either.  We know that Lemmy's vocals, Dave's guitar solo, and some
synth bits were added during the overdub session, but I'm not quite sure of
what else.  Interesting food for thought ...
