     No, Susan, to answer your question. The 12" features the
same tracks as the CD-single: the original album track of _TSW_,
the instrumental version (exactly the same as the LP version only
without the lead vocal), and _Walk_Straight_Down_the_Middle_. The
only exclusive feature of the 12" is that on Side A one can hear
_either_ the instrumental or the vocal mix of _TSW_. On Side B
the instrumental version (single-groove) is found _again_, with
_WSDTM_. So no, there's no exclusive music to be found on the 12"--
another example of how Kate is producing less and less as time goes
by. It's a definite disappointment that she didn't take the relatively
short time out to fiddle around with _TSW_ and produce a new mix
of some kind. The rhythm track on that recording certainly could have
been manipulated to great effect; or she might have added some alternate
vocals (perhaps the original text of _Ulysses_ backwards, or something?).
     Oh, well, perhaps there'll be a re-mix of _Love_and_Anger_ on
the next UK single. Yeah, right.
