I guess I'd much rather get new tracks instead of Magic Bus, which I 
like, but it was one of those tracks which was fairly well recorded in
the first place.....

WHAT?   WHY, I OUGHTA.........

   ok john, I agree I would prefer to get new tracks, too....after all, I
can always pull out the lp and play it if I wanna hear the long version....
BUT, really, why can't the record company just complete the job and put it
on a disc?   I know there is at least ONE OTHER PERSON who would like to see
MAGIC BUS (LONG VER) out on disc (the guy wrote in to ICE magazine, noting 
the same thing I did; that it is the one track that has not gotten the 
digital treatment yet).  I mean, really, what the hell ... well, maybe 
ODDS & SODS will resolve this deal (I HOPE......PLEASE.... C'MON, I SPEND 
A *LOT* OF MONEY ON CD's ...... I DESERVE THIS, DAMMIT..... I'M NOT GIVING 
UP WITHOUT A FIGHT!!!!)

                        later, who dudes
