        Just for completeness here...

        The Glitterhouse self-titled *CD* has tracklist as follows:

Snake Dance [not the _Spine of God_ version, rougher and shorter]
Tractor [I believe this is the same version as used  _Tab... 25_]
Nod Scene (from The Resin Scrapers) [as `Snake Dance']
Freak Shop USA
Lizard Johnny
Murder [see `Tractor']

        My copy of _Tab... _ is on Caroline, and lists `Murder' as `Lord
13' and doesn't list `Tractor' at all though it's there on the end.

        It might be cruel, but judging by the self-titled CD, it might not
really live up to the _Spine of God_ versions. But then, what
could? Yours,
              Jon
