        Still a bit confused, though that clears a lot up: if Jamie
Mandelkau wasn't involved, why is he still credited on 'Past or Future',
when Nik has his own name on the credits as well. The original LP lists
Calvert too: what happened to that?

        Damn, I'd forgotten that one: I was thinking of 'Silver Machine'
and 'Adjust Me', which is band-credited... Probably one of the ones he
wasn't there for,  now I've said that.
