Cober:

I think that SINGLES is a very good CD to have. Not only does it have the
single version of WGFA (found nowhere else to date), but great sounding
versions of Join Together and Let's See Action.
My opinion: Pete didn't make the choices of what was to go on WN, so the
chances are that Johns kept Join Together as a future single. It is a great
song but made a terrible single (the same applies to The Relay), because it
barely charted. And after the band's most successful album, too.
What I'm waiting for is the single version of The Relay to be released on
anything. So far, every version of it released fades a few seconds before
the single does.
