Got my 7" (w/ gatefold sleeve) and 12" versions of the UK "Love and Anger" today. I was under the mistaken impression that "Ken" wasn't on the 12" or I wouldn't have bought the 7", but I'm sure glad I did! I was listening to the B-side, thinking, "Gee, this isn't as good as some of her other stuff - and that Del Palmer has a ways to go as a mixing engineer", and then I noticed a subtle difference in the wording of the "Love and Anger" credit on the 7" and the 12". And then I looked, and, sure enough, there were exactly four more seconds of music on the 12" (odd amount to add for a remix, I thought, and then, I said, "Wait a minute..."). I didn't want to skip to the end, so I listened to the whole thing - and then, after that "Yeah!". "<pause>...<LAUGH!!!!!>" It was so excellent I nearly creamed my jeans. And it's not on the 7"!!!! (Which ends with the "Yeah!"). Now, they credit the 7" as having the mix that appears on _The Sensual World_, and the 12" as "...original version available on ... _The Sensual World_", so, in some sense, that would seem to indicate that the original intent was that the laugh belongs either A) with "The Fog", or B) just as a bit of banding between songs, but ... You gotta hand it to her for exploiting the collective weenieness extant!!! larry...
