I have the UK CD, and sorry, but the more I listen the more I hear
	Columbia
instead of "Travelling" (what I used to think it was).
Although it's more:
	Clumbia
ie the 'o' is non existant.

I guess what I'm saying is I hear a hard sound at the start, I feel
the word "Well" has a soft starting sound, so it just cannot be that!

I just played my USA vinyl, and I can only hear "travelling",
but the quality is *so* bad compared to the CD, I guess I must
have played the LP a few (understatement of the year) times.

PS NO SHOUTING IN THIS GROUP PLEASE.

PPS Drop the "*" from line 2.

Maybe I should have said this whole message as:
	A particular normally very reliable love-hound pretends to hear
	"Well, we're now at..." for the first voice.

	This IS WRONG (in more than just my opinion)
	... etc
but I don't think this is a valid method of having a conversation to
discover what is really there. We all have our opinions, but to claim
others are "plain wrong" like that could be offensive. Especially when I
felt it was aimed at me. But hey, I'm fairly laid back, so I think this
is the worst of a flame response you'll get from me. It's even just in
a PS, to try and tone it down.
