What I get for not showing up here more often. I am the same George Ward referred to above. It's late, and I'm not going to try to go through the whole story now (or to carefully read everything above, I'm already cross-eyed from being online too long). But I'll check back.   And if I can add anything to what's been covered above I'll be happy to and to chat about it.
CD version?? The blinkin' compact cassette was first introduced to the market only two or three months before we recorded that album ;)
