        This sparks a question which I've been meaning to ask for, ooh,
even longer than this mail's been kicking about my INBOX.

        I have neither LP nor CD, but an official Virgin pressing cassette
copy of _P.X.R.5_. Which version of `High Rise' have I got? I've heard
both _Tales from Atomhenge_ and _Epoch Eclipse_ and I don't remember
noticing ether of their `High Rise' versions as not being the one I
own... So I have cloth ears. Can anyone else tell me which version of the
album I need to look out for more urgently? Yours,
                                                   Jon
