My favorite track from the original O&S is "Pure and Easy".  IMO, I've always 
felt the fadeout at the end (The power chords, followed by "There once was a 
note....LISTEN!!!!" over and over) was equal to the fadeout of "Hey Jude" in 
power and passion.  I know that they've released the alternate version of P&E on 
the remastered WN, but I hope they don't omit the O&S version.
