** After the climatic anti climax in The Hole In your Roof, it starts to fade out... and then keeps fading out for another 2 minutes. Additionally, it also takes about a minute and a half to start, so the actual song only takes u half the song! The single edit cuts out about 3 minutes of dead time, making a much more concise listening experience.

** With an innocent name like "Lazy Pines" you'd think a song like that would be a calm and peaceful one? Instead, what you get is five minutes of an ''absolutely'' madcap trip that flies at breakneck speed! One has to wonder how a song as insane as this was only a B-Side.
