After reading the above post I went back and checked my records. The UK 
issue cd for HL lists OrgAnon in the liner notes as does the US issue CD, 
the US issue LP and the US promo marble vinyle LP. I also listened closely a 
number of times and she is (to my ears) most definetly saying OrgAnon. After 
I read "Book of Dreams" is when I first thought somethign was up for in 
there the place is called OrgOnon. So my question remains: is this simply a 
mistake in spelling on Kate's part OR did she actually mean something by 
this difference in the original OrgOnon and her rendition of OrgAnon?
