First off, _is_ the "single mix" of TWW any different from the album?
I don't think the 12" import is any different, though I could be wrong.
And I've never heard the 7" import...

"One Last Look Around the House Before We Go..." *is* in the box set--
TWW II, track 3.  The "G.L.C." song that is missing from the set is
"The Confrontation."  So no, Ed, your memory isn't playing tricks on
you...

Hmmm.  I think I'd call it a remix with improvised vocals.  The backing
tracks seem to be from "HoL", though rather chopped up.  This is as
opposed to say, The Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation (U.K. surf mix)" which is
a completely new recording, regardless of what the title implies.
