I agree with you here Bernhard. It's a throwaway number. The
last thing they had which had real single potential IMO was `Sunray',
and that should have been used as a B-side with `Spirit of the Age', or
even the A-side to it. I don't suppose it would have made much
difference to the chart position, and of course it would have meant more
royalties difficulties given that various people on it had departed, but
if I'd been a manager able to sort out all these things by miracles, I
think that's how I'd have played it. Yours,
Jon
