I only have the original vinyl version, which doesn't contain the two early
EP's (perhaps they're bonus tracks on the CD?).  I definitely misspoke when
I said that this list contained all the essential S3, because those first
two EP's are some of their best stuff.  I have a bootleg CD that compiles
them, so I'm not sure if they ever came out officially on CD (and the
original vinyl was impossible to track down, even in my most rabidly
kollekting daze).  I'd forgotten about how good that version of "Starship"
is ...

Everything else Nick says is 100% spot on!
