        Not meaning to quibble, but are you sure you have `Longhair' and
`Lord 13' correct there? The only reason I have it my way round is that
the words `long hair' actually occur in the track I thought was the one of
that name, and I'm just interested as to how you can tell the difference
if not by that? I figured that as the two tracks after `Tab' itself don't
break in the middle that they were one, `25', and the new track after them
must be `Longhair' and the lyrics just made up my mind for me. Um, why do
you think different? Yours,
                            Jon
