With the exception of "YHD", this is all material that was not released
from the recording sessions of "Up The Downstair". The version of "YHD"
on S_I is slightly different than the the Y_H_D, release (no band member
intros, "The Cross" isn't the beginning of the song spring to mind). The
10" was released about a year ago.

More related to "UTD" than "YHD", IMHO. YHD is more akin, however, to
...ON THE SUNDAY OF LIFE. You are correct about the remastering of
some of the material for the releases.

Still waiting for the full release of VOYAGE 34...
