	They do sound quite different, though I agree that for what's 
there the same things are happening in the same order, so I think this 
is the most likely answer; maybe somebody in the band was doing a Larry 
Boyd and recording on a `blaster' for their own archive...

	Glad it's not just me that thought that. Thanks for doing the 
check-ups, Steve! Yours,
