Presumably "The War" isn't. Is that a Brock Demo like the rest of side B
of the tape?

I'd wondered if that was the case, they certainly sound closer to that
year than 1978. I think Chris Sutton had said that he'd got info from
the band that those two tracks were from the US Hawklords tour.

Any idea where "Slap it on ..." might have appeared from?

I suspect this is actually a Brock demo. I've pestered him occasionally
to do a full length version of the track but no luck so far.
