I thought it had been pretty well established that the track was inspired
by or somehow related to the movie "The Shining."  The concierge and all
that stuff... a ghost in the house, etc.  I wish I could quote a reference;
it has come up here before.

A quick TD question.  Since the album was mixed to digital, is it reasonable
to assume that the US and UK masterings sound (nearly?) identical?  I finally
got a UK HoL, and the difference is pretty obvious in places (e.g., beginning 
of "Mother Stands for Comfort"), although as IED pointed out, there's still
a lot of tape hiss in various places.  Has anyone compared the two TD 
masterings?
