Liner note
One idea, six readings, recorded in a single afternoon and sequenced in the order they happened. The band had not played together before and had not seen the chart before that morning.
The argument for keeping the order
Every engineer who has heard this record has suggested leading with the fifth reading, which is the best one. Nadia refused, on the grounds that it is only the best one because of the four that come first.
