I understand that the matrix numbers in the dead wax are A1/B2 and if memory serves me correctly it's the version with the lyric underneath but . . . it's also stated somewhere on the web that both versions were printed at the same time, possibly the sleeve with the lyric to the left are European (German pressings) and US pressings, and the UK pressings came with the lyric underneath the main image. Can't find the reference for that but I'll keep looking and I'll rope in Miss Marple to help.

My Canadian vinyl that was bought when the album was originally released has PART II on side one of the dead wax. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/heavy-horses.54197/page-2#post-12310261

My Canadian vinyl that was bought when the album was originally released has PART II on side one of the dead wax. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/heavy-horses.54197/page-2#post-1231026From one of the auction sites: "Original LP purchased new when released in 1978. Chrysalis catalogue number CHR 1175 and first issue matrix numbers A1/B2. This is a UK original pressing. The vinyl is glossy and bright and in near mint condition with no scratches visible whatsoever. The textured embossed sleeve with gold scrolls is in excellent condition with only some minor shelf wear and has its original lyric dust sleeve."The following includes a bit of background information which I got from a Chrysalis sales rep back in the late seventies, possibly very early eighties. Chrysalis vastly underestimated the demand for the vinyl album as they were in the process of "pushing" the audio cassette format here in the UK. In some areas of south London where I lived at the time, it seems the record shops had only been given a small amount of the vinyl format but boxes upon boxes of cassettes. I couldn't get a vinyl copy from my usual shop at the time (Landau of Sutton) and had to initially make do with a cassette issue. Anyway, when Chrysalis and their distributors realised the error of their ways, further copies were pressed and sleeves printed (quite possibly from alternative printers to the original) and also at some early stage some may have been shipped in from the USA and elsewhere thus there is a distinct possibility that collectors may think they have a first pressing when in fact, unbeknown to them, they have a US or even a European pressing in a reprinted UK sleeve.

Note to Steven Wilson, perhaps via TooTull: When you get to Heavy Horses remix. please, PLEASE lose the 'fingernail on the blackboard' tambourine that prevents 'Rover' from being a perfect song.

" prevents from being a perfect song" It is a perfect song and still would be without the tambourine. But I know what you mean my learned Tull friend. Lets debate the loss or indeed any merit of the tambourine in 'Rover' since it's the Tull Forum.

I only noticed yesterday how much more beautiful, pretty, perfect Rover is during the tambourine-less passages. Then it started grating...thus the request to Mr. Wilson. Old age incipient neurosis or legit complaint? I remember thinking that the addition of tambourine, mixed in loud on the the MU version of Locomotive Breath, was an improvement.

Maybe we should vote...how cool would it be if our input, perhaps catalyzed by my morning irritation, actually swayed the powers that be. I know I might be wrong about tambourine vs no tambourine....everyone listen and pipe up, please.

My headstone:
Bernie Kellman 1957-20??
He listened to Tull and once, they listened to him.

I know I might be wrong about tambourine vs no tambourine....everyone listen and pipe up, please. I think the tambourine could be ditched altogether without causing too much damage to the original sound and I'm sure Mr Wilson would have no trouble at all removing it. All we need now is for him to give us the song minus tambourine so we can debate further. Have a good listen. Uploaded by Dan Clifton

Odd? Note to Steven Wilson, perhaps via TooTull: When you get to Heavy Horses remix. please, PLEASE lose the 'fingernail on the blackboard' tambourine that prevents 'Rover' from being a perfect song. More tambourine for steel. Got it! What next? Improving A Stitch In Time. You've thrown the stick for your dog's trick but it's floating out of reach.

Leave well alone Bernie re the tambourine - it's not that bad and besides you told me off often enough about going on about my fingernail on the board moment - "Halt,block,stop Sorry,we're coming in" ....so there And while I'm here what annoys me is the video on youtube that has the most counts for Rover. It starts off ok and then it gets super cheesy with half - naked women running on a Caribbean- looking beach. And, (if your still here) "Rover" is running along a Loch in Scotland on a sodden grey afternoon with his master who's dressed in Scottish garb and smoking a pipe.

I never thought of 'Rover' as an ad for Club Med. Rover is definitely grey afternoon, with or without pipe to illustrate contemplation.

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust, An October's day, towards evening, Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough, Salt on a deep chest seasoning. Last of the line at an honest day's toil, Turning the deep sod under, Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone, Flies at the nostrils plunder. The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie With the Shire on his feathers floating. Hauling soft timber into the dusk To bed on a warm straw coating.The Suffolk The Clydesdale The Percheron The Shire

It's always kind of bothered me how much "Weathercock" sounds like "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger. Am I the only person who hears that?

Yes, you're right I can hear the similarity especially when it gets to 1. 33. Well spotted batcom Time for the rest of The Forum to check now. Thanks to our remy for uploading
