I first heard Space Ritual on a borrowed tape from a friend and the side
orders had been changed so that it would fit on a C90 - the longest
available audio cassette at the time. Since I just copied that tape and
listened to it for years, the album sounded in the wrong order when I
bought it - even despite the clear links at the end of some sides.
