	If I remember rightly, and I'm going on my recollection of the 
_Great Rock Discography_ here which is renowned for its errors, the deal 
is that _Pungent Effulgent_ was first, and came out before anything else 
bar the tapes on Demi Monde. But as with many bands, the Ozrics decided 
Demi Monde sucked, and left them, and their manager formed their own 
label Dovetail. And they eventually got _Pungent Effulgent_ back from 
Demi Monde and re-released it, but by then they already had _Erpland_ 
out on Dovetail so _Pungent Effulgent_ was their second release *on 
Dovetail*. That seems to make sense of all the confusion... Yours,
								   Jon
