Sorry to dissappoint you, I was referring to someone elses posting, and
my comment was their tape did not have the two demo versions of Babooshka.
Which I generally refer to as "Early Piano" and "Beatbox" versions.
Their tape also had two "Kashka"s, which interested me, or perhaps they
were the same one, just twice.

Yep! That's the "Early Piano" version.
The "Beatbox" version has different lines from the N4E version:
	And when he laid eyes on her,
	He got the feeling that he knew her well.
	Uncanny how she
	Can take him back into a piece of past.
	Can say the things that make him want to laugh.
	Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
I assume you have this version too?

It is a rarity, but so many people have the various bootlegs, I would
not classify them as such, although I've never seen them in a shop, I
got my home demos CD (from Pig records) from a kind Love-Hound, paid
him for it, of course.
