One of the bands very first recordings, this four track recording bears a fair amount of similarity to the final version that appeared on 1990 album Flood but slightly different lyrics, and a lot more "out" improvisation.
The line about "yelling out 'albatross'", which appears in both early versions as well as current live versions, is a reference to a sketch from the BBC series "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
