BOC

[Swartz, John A.]

I never bought the Koch release, but did see it on the shelves and never saw anything about an extra track (and believe me, I would have gotten it if did).  I believe at the time Club Ninja was "out of print" so this release was hailed as bringing back the album - it did have new liner notes by Arthur Levy, I believe - he did liner notes for the "Workshop of the Telescopes" compilation and maybe something else (I seem to recall that Bolle didn't like the guy's liner notes).
